He's consistent AF, as a shitty RB coach. Like LSU last year under Wilson, Ole Miss's rushing game thus far is ranked toward the bottom in all of FBS. Good riddance Frank.

Ole Miss, against the defensive juggernauts of Louisville and Charlotte:
- Rushing yds/game- #96, 139.5 yds
- Rushing attempts/game- #108, 32.5 attempts
- Rushing yds percentage/offense- #93, 30.73%

It was so strange to see LSU's first black HC (2-3 W-L record) on the sideline for Ole Miss wearing Ole Miss gear during last season's CFP in the same year he was appointed LSU's HC.

Yet, it is not strange to see Wilson underwhelm, once again, with RB production. Keep up the good work, Frank!

If I’m wrong, I’ll take the hubris cracks, but I feel confident that LSU defense is going to completely shut down Old Piss Saturday, golf balls be damned.

As long as his NOLA recruiting chops have faded, I'm good. Always liked and respected coach Frank but now, unfortunately, he's tigerbait.

A better metric would be yards per rush attempt, they are 51st. They havent been trying to run the ball. I guess i can see why youd cherry pick.

OM is terrible in the run game on both sides of the ball.

He’s calling card has never been his ability to coach running backs. It was always his recruiting and ties to New Orleans and being able to go under the radar to get things done to get a kid to your school. For years he was the #1 bagman in the country.

Now that the money is out in the open his grift is useless.

None of this means a thing. They will be ready to play LSU.

Interesting stats to try to prove bad positional coaching. What you are showing is they don’t run a lot.

Lacy is averaging 4.9 yards per carry
If you run the ball least of all teams, you probably won’t have the highest yards per game. As much as I would love to talk shite, he has zero to do with play calling and how many times they actually try to run the ball per game.

And why do teams not run a lot? Because they suck at running.

A better argument for Frank Wilson is that the performance of the running backs is more related to the offensive coordinator’s performance than the running back coach. And for Ole Miss particularly. They already had a proven RB. It’s not like Frank is teaching him to run into the linemen instead of the holes.

Frank Wilson is a shitty R.B. Coach.

He’s also a poor evaluator of talent. I’m still amazed he passed on Nate Sheppard. Frank did offer him as a D. Back. Sheppard is now one of The Premier Backs in all of college football.
