""I can't," Wilson said Tuesday following the Tigers' first full padded practice since Brian Kelly's firing on Sunday, the day after a 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M. "We have to live in this moment to allow us to take care of our business right now," Wilson continued. "To do anything besides that is a mistake.""
""I'm a part of the fiber of this state," Wilson said, adding that he is "extremely humbled, extremely honored to be given this opportunity." "It's something that you would dream up, something that you don't know if it would ever come true, but something you prepare yourself for," he added. "I recognize this moment, this opportunity, is so much bigger than me. I just happen to be the caretaker at this moment.""
Frank Wilson is interim LSU coach and declined to discuss prospects for retaining the job beyond this season. Wilson described the promotion as a dreamlike opportunity and framed his role as a caretaker larger than himself. LSU is 5-3 overall and has lost three of four games, most recently falling 49-25 to No. 3 Texas A&M. The team is idle this week and will play at No. 4 Alabama on Nov. 8. Wilson has a long LSU history, has been named national recruiter of the year twice, aims to stabilize the roster, and will have Alex Atkins serve as offensive coordinator after Joe Sloan's dismissal.
