I'll once again caveat those stats with its not taking into account the qbs, talent level, or runningbacks

LSU hasn't had an elite OL in almost a decade. Anything will be better than Brad Davis. Lane will get us a dual threat QB.

If Coach Heaux likes him, then I like him. tRantards be dammed

Why wouldn’t he just bring James Cregg, who coached the 2019 OL?

The 2019 OL won the Joe Moore award for best line.

Joey B and play calling won them that award imo.

Seems that way. You would think with all the years Lane has had in NFL and College that he would have a better OLine pipeline to choose from.

Was hoping they could bring Rob Sale home.

Well it at least appears to me, if someone can say otherwise, the only common denominator is Nick Saban. Unless he and coach Kiffin have worked together before? If the common denominator is coach Saban is have to assume coach Kiffin “checked” his references with coach Saban?

Would have liked that. Lane obviously likes some things about Wolford. Can’t imagine he is choosing someone he thinks sucks.

Saban fired him after a year or so in Tuscaloosa…

21 and 22 were elite. 21 got him the bama job. I guess we will see. Kiffin would know better than me.

Regression at Bama from #6 to #84 is troubling to me.

If it's on the offensive side of the ball and Lane Kiffin hires him then he gets full faith and credit until proven otherwise.

Remember, he was working for the same HC that just hired Joe Sloan as OC…
