Wilson had led the Hoosiers to back-to-back seasons of bowl eligibility. Last year's Pinstripe Bowl was Indiana's first appearance in college football's post season in almost a decade. With a 6-6 record this year, Indiana was expected to go to their first back-to-back bowl games since 1991.
Considering that Wilson had fielded competitive teams recently, this firing really comes as a big surprise. There will likely be more information released as Indiana makes their own announcement, and we will keep you updated as necessary.
