New Ohio State OC Kevin Wilson defends Indiana years

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Citing multiple investigations into his former program and the clearance he received to be hired at Ohio State, Kevin Wilson defended himself against allegations of player mistreatment in his first public comments since resigning at Indiana.

Wilson thanked the Hoosiers for the opportunity to coach there for six years, expressed appreciation for the support from some former players and responded to accusations that he may have mishandled injuries prior to parting ways with Indiana in December. He wasn't a coaching free agent for long with the Buckeyes signing him as their new offensive coordinator in January.
