[Foxborough] The UMass Minutemen have announced that Head Coach John Wilson will be taking the reigns as they bventure into their first ever bowl eligible season. Coach Wilson, a graduate of University of Houston, is not taking the job lightly. "This is a giant step for this program! Becoming bowl eligible isn't just enough, getting there will be a challenge. And that is our goal! Anything else is a failure."

The Minutemen finished their 2011 season 5-6 and with the firing of their then head coach Kevin Morris. When questioned about the pressures of taking over a position from which the previous person was fired, coach Wilson stood sternly. "What this organization needs is a change! No disrespect to what preceded me, but I know that I have the knowledge to make UMass a dynamic program. And that is already taking place."

The Minutemen open their season on the road against the UConn Huskies. We will have more for you as we follow your 2012 UMass Minutemen and their new head coach, John Wilson.
