Eric Wolford has a big task in front of him, but he is ready for the challenge.
Alabama football transitioned to him from Doug Marrone after a subpar performance by its offensive line in 2021.
Wolford, 50, played guard in college at Kansas State and spent one season in the National Football League. He started his coaching career in 1995 and has served as a college coach for all but two years. Wolford is experiened in the Southeastern Conference, coaching lineman at South Carolina (2009, 2017-20) and Kentucky (2021). His offensive units for the Gamecocks assisted four 500+ yard rushers, including a 1,000+ yard running back (Kevin Harris: 1,138, 15 touchdowns) in 2020.
