Coaching Accomplishments
In 2008, he coordinated the most prolific offense in the
history of college football and was rewarded with the 2008
Broyles Award. It was the first in the modern era to record
more than 700 points and 60 or more points in five straight
games, and the first ever to include a 4,000-yard passer
and two 1,000-yard rushers. The unit was led by Heisman
Trophy winner Sam Bradford.
Oversaw the 2007 offense that led the nation in passing
efficiency. Scoring offense was second in the conference
while ranking No. 5 nationally with 42.3 points per game.
OU topped the 40-point mark eight times. Total offense
ranked No. 19 nationally. All three regular tight ends
(Eldridge, Finley, Gresham) received Big 12 honors.
The 2006 offense was balanced with 2,480 rushing yards
and 2,682 passing yards. Three different running backs
logged 100-yard games and QB Paul Thompson put up
numbers that ranked among the top 10 in school history
for passing yards, touchdown passes, and completion
percentage.
The 2005 line produced consensus All-Big 12 pick Davin
Joseph as Adrian Peterson again eclipsed 1,000 rushing
yards. Three freshmen were integrated as starters.
In 2004, the line, featuring Outland winner Jammal Brown
and Walter Camp All-American and Vince Carter, cleared
the way for Heisman runner-up Adrian Peterson's 1,925
rushing yards while allowing a Big 12-low nine sacks.
The 2004 Sooners, featuring Wes Sims, a sixth-round
draft choice by the Chargers, and All-Big 12 pick Joseph,
were No. 8 in total offense and averaged 34.8 points.
The 2003 team ranked No. 3 nationally with 42.9 points/
game and No. 19 with 439.4 yards of total offense.
In 2002, the line had four honorees as Quentin Griffin fell
13 yards shy of OU's season rushing record.
As Northwestern's offensive coordinator, the 2001
Wildcats led the Big 10 in total offense and QB Zac Kustok
was conference leader in that same category. In 2000,
Northwestern set 25 school marks while ranking No. 3
nationally in total offense. The co-Big Ten champs were
led by Damian Anderson, who rushed for a Big Ten record
193.6 yards per game.
Finalist for the 2000 Broyles Award.
Has helped produce 16 1,000-yard rushers. At OU, both
Peterson (1,925 yards in 2004, 1,024 in 2005) and Griffin
(1,884 yards in 2002) worked under Wilson.
