New LSU coach Lane Kiffin has reportedly hired Kentucky offensive line coach Eric Wolford for the same role on his staff.

Wolford will replace Brad Davis, who served as LSU's offensive line coach since 2021.

The 54-year-old coach from Youngstown, Ohio, has been an offensive line coach throughout his career, with stops at several SEC schools, including South Carolina, Kentucky, Alabama, and now LSU.

Wolford was Youngstown State's head coach from 2010 to 2014, going 31-26 in five seasons.

1997–1999: South Florida (OL)
2000–2002: Houston (OL)
2003: North Texas (OL)
2004–2006: Arizona (OL)
2007–2008: Illinois (OL)
2009: South Carolina (OL)
2010–2014: Youngstown State (HC)
2015–2016: San Francisco 49ers (asst. OL)
2017–2020: South Carolina (OL)
2021: Kentucky (OL)
2022–2023: Alabama (OL)
2024–2025: Kentucky (OL)
2026–present: LSU (OL)

I can’t believe that Kiffin had the nerve to hire this guy without consulting the experts on TD.

Kentucky has had one of the worst offensive lines the past couple years. This should pan out well.

Can’t be worse than our O-line over the last 2 years.

Different level of talent he will have to work with. UK just doesn’t recruit well. They spend most of their money on men’s hoops

Im just glad the disaster that is Brad Davis is gone. It’s hard to imagine the O-line being any worse than this past year.

I guess he'll also be the highest paid OL coach in the history of OL coaches.

He spent two years under Saban...I'd say he is worth a shot

Relax guys. If the line is bad next year like it was this year then at some point we have to look at the linemen themselves. These guys were all highly recruited. I trust Kiffin.

If he was so great, why did he go from Bama o-line coach back to Kentucky o-line coach?

He was not retained when Saban retired.

Time coincides with when Saban retired and Deboer took over. Probably not let go for performance as much as new coach bringing in his own staff. Wouldn't read too much into that. Saban thought enough of him to hire him.

Many coaches like to recreate with their own networks not necessarily who is the best hire. Not different than any other profession

Wow. This guy doesn’t stick around very long wherever he goes. I guess he’s talented if CLK hired him. He’s a Tiger now.

Well from the record, it looks like we'll just have him for a couple years.

in this case it makes the coach look skinny, and we all know OL coaches are not skinny!

He has pretty much changed jobs every year for the past 30 years. I’ll have to trust coach Kiffin on this one…
