Alabama to hire Kentucky OL coach Eric Wolford

Alabama will be hiring Kentucky’s OL coach from the 2021 season.

Alabama hired former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Don Marrone in 2021 to serve as the Crimson Tide offensive line coach, but it now appears that the program will be moving in a different direction for the 2022 season.

Reported by BamaOnline’s Charlie Potter, Alabama is hiring Kentucky’s offensive line coach Eric Wolford.

Wolford coached on season at Kentucky, but has been an offensive line coach  since 1995, where he played while in college.

This will be stop No. 13 for Wolford, he has coached at two other SEC programs (Kentucky, South Carolina) and he had a brief stint in the NFL as the assistant offensive line coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
