According to Kentucky 247, LSU hired their OL coach, Eric Wolford, in the same position. I know that was a question yesterday, but it appears Wolford will replace Brad Davis.

Current staff:

OC- Charlie Weis Jr.
QB- Dane Stevens
RB- Kevin Smith (allegedly joining after the season)
WR- George McDonald
TE/Co-OC- Joe Cox
OL- Eric Wolford

DC/LB- Blake Baker
DL- Kyle Williams (rumored retirement)
EDGE- Kevin Peoples
CB- Corey Raymond
S- Jake Olsen

Unknown- Frank Wilson

it’s no allegedly joining after the season. He is joining after the season and the running back coach will not be Frank Wilson.

Make Frank Wilson HS recruiting coordinator/analyst and associate HC. LSU running game was not good and lacked creativity and too conservative for LK style.

Kevin Smith seems legit:
quote:

Under Smith’s tutelage at FAU, Devin Singletary became the first running back in NCAA history to score 29 touchdowns in a season since Smith did it himself as a star at UCF. In Smith's first year at FAU, Singletary, whose 33 total TDs rank third all-time in single-season touchdowns, was named the 2017 C-USA Most Valuable Player.

The 2017 FAU running back ranked No. 6 nationally in rushing yards per game (285.3). The No. 6 national ranking was a jump of 45 spots from the previous year. Singletary and fellow FAU running back Kerrith Whyte were both selected in the 2019 NFL draft. Smith mentored the FAU running backs to three consecutive 2,000-yard rushing efforts, the best in school history.

quote:

Ole Miss
In 2020, Smith would accompany Kiffin to Ole Miss. Smith had a quick impact there, coaching the Southeastern Conference's (SEC) leading rushing attack. Ole Miss averaged 210.6 yards per game on the ground, leading the conference and ranking 26th overall. The Rebel running backs scored 19 touchdowns throughout the 10-game season, finishing 6th in the SEC. Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner, both sophomores, combined for 17 touchdowns; Ealy's nine led the team. Under Smith's tutelage, Ealy was named second-team All-SEC by Pro Football Focus. Both Ealy and Conner would later go on to play professionally in the National Football League.

In 2021, three of Smith's running backs (Ealy, Conner and Henry Parrish Jr.) ranked in the top 25 of the SEC in total rushing yards at the end of the regular season. Ole Miss placed 12th in the FBS in rushing yards in 2021, with 2,829 yards for an average of 217.6 per game

He spent 1 season at Miami and Parish was all ACC there.
quote:

Ole Miss (second stint)
Ole Miss finished 8-5 in 2022 after being 10-2 the previous season. After the season, Smith was brought back as the running backs coach.

In 2023, Smith's running backs were part of a dynamic run attack that led Ole Miss to its first 11-win season in program history, as well as a 2023 Peach Bowl victory. The Rebels were 7th in the SEC in running offense and scored 29 touchdowns on the ground, ranking 5th in the University's history.

Smith coached the dynamic running back duo of Quinshon Judkins and Ulysses Bentley IV. Judkins was the SEC Freshman of the Year and first team All-SEC honoree. He had 1,158 yards and 15 touchdowns, making him eighth in FBS history and the second in SEC history (Herschel Walker) to have 1,000 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in their rookie and sophomore years. Bentley was named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list and Reese's Senior Bowl watch list.

And what he's done with Lacy this season.

Highly doubt LSU is going to have 2 RB coaches on the field at one time.

They're not. It's Frank Wilson right now, but will likely wind up being Kevin Smith in like a month

Frank will not be the RB coach. They want to keep him in a off-field role but he may decline that offer.

No he’s not. Frank has never been on the staff when LSU has won a national championship. There’s too much mythologizing around some of these coaches.

I believe analysts can coach on the field now so make a new title up as running game analyst and recruiting coordinator that keeps Franks pay high and allow him to assist on the field coaching.

Obviously, I hope he does well at LSU, but Kentucky and Bama fans are saying he’s a very mediocre coach. I guess we will see

The article said he was already on campus working.

Wolford is a bad hire imo.

I had do much hope for the o line coach and it seems like kiffin just went the easy route
