Tulsa is expected to fire head coach Kevin Wilson, multiple outlets reported Sunday.

The Golden Hurricane fell to 3-8 overall (1-6 in American Athletic Conference) this season and 7-16 during Wilson’s two years as their head coach with a 63-30 setback to South Florida on Saturday.

While Tulsa gained 478 yards against South Florida, the Golden Hurricane turned the ball over five times and allowed 715 total yards.

Tulsa wraps up its season against FAU (2-9, 0-7) next Saturday.

Wilson, 63, posted a 26-47 record, including losses in two bowl games, during six seasons as the head coach of Indiana (2011-16). In between head-coaching jobs, he was the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.

Per ESPN, wide receivers coach Ryan Switzer has accepted the interim coaching role.

Switzer, 30, excelled as a wide receiver at North Carolina and played in 41 NFL games (one start) over three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys (2017) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2018-19).
