UTSA coach Frank Wilson knew what he wanted when he began his search for a new offensive coordinator. He wasn’t looking for pro style or spread, scheme was secondary. He wanted a flexible style from a coordinator who could fit that year’s attack around the personnel on the roster. He interviewed 12 candidates and even flirted with running the offense himself.
Eventually, he landed on Al Borges, who’s made stops at UCLA, Auburn, Michigan and more in his nearly three decades as an offensive coordinator.
“I just wanted to have comfort with someone I thought could bring to bear what would give us our best chance: That was an offense that took the personnel we had and maximized it, and not limit us,” Wilson said.
