LAKE CHARLES, LA - McNeese Football head coach Frank Wilson has offered his resignation from the program after two seasons and Athletic Director Heath Schroyer has accepted it effective immediately.

"I am humbled to have served as the head coach at McNeese State University. While there were unique challenges over the last two years, including two hurricanes that impacted our community and team, I couldn't be more grateful for how our university leadership and team embraced these challenges," Wilson said. "Your new head coach will inherit a strong-minded group of young men who have excelled in the classroom and demonstrated a willingness to work that is sincerely inspiring. These young men withstood tough times and many moving parts, but these young men will win. My only regret is that we did not position our team to win the Southland Conference. I will always be a McNeese supporter. Go Pokes!"

"We appreciate everything Coach Wilson has done to help our football program and our community heal from two very difficult years," Schroyer Said. "Coach Wilson is first class and was an excellent leader for our student-athletes. I wish he and his family the best in all of their future endeavors."
 
Schroyer will begin the process of identifying the next head coach of Cowboy football immediately.
