Anyone who tried to bring this up in the offseason got downvoted into oblivion, but every single fanbase that has ever had Wolford as their OL coach has had nothing but terrible things to say about him. Kentucky fans said they had the worst o-lines in program history under him. It's no different from how ND fans tried to warn us about Kelly and the idiots on here said "they're just mad cuz we stole their coach!"

Maybe everyone should stop taking everything Saban says as if it’s gospel. While we’re at it, can we stop making comparisons to Saban just because Kiffin coached under him?

His OL have sucked everywhere he's been. It was a baffling hire.

Except the OL has not been bad this year given the talent we have. You have to handicap his performance to the talent. Weston Davis has improved. We just have two eyesores at guard and now that Davis went down, there’s no one to play RT.

Saban wanted us to hire Houston Nutt as his heir. His recommendations suck.

It’s been terrible, we get zero push on the interior against competent defensive lines.

75 is dog water….. I honestly believe LSU wins the game if 75 could block my 8 year old.

You have to give him a chance to develop guys. Moore is undersized for Sec football tho technically a sound center. Satterwhite is a sophomore that was a backup center last year. Seaton hasn't ever blocked well in the run game. Bah is extremely slow off the ball. I'll give all these guys an opportunity to get their kind of players in here. Some of our issues in short yardage situations are our wrs are really bad blocking and setting the edge in the run game as well.

It seems no matter who the coach is we have a subpar OL.

But yeah, we’re definitely going to beat the two best front 4s we’ve played all year in the next two weeks.

That should have been the first clue not to hire him.

A lot of people were concerned, when he was hired.

Hence “given the talent we have.” Although I think you’re exaggerating slightly.

Next year we will have possibly 4 or 5 new starters on OLine. I think maybe Satterwhite remains, but I hope we move on from Weston Davis. I’m not sure we any in reserve roles that will fight for a spot next year either.

Red flags as soon as Wolford was announced and Kentucky fans were celebrating. Basically, they and Bama fans came on here and said “good luck”

Then Kiffin hired Cregg to help out and we’re 9 games in with terrible guards showing no improvement. Constantly getting blown up. Pushed backwards. RT bad too
