[Ed. Note: In case you missed the news, Kentucky offensive line coach Eric Wolford is leaving to take the same position at Alabama. Here is Freddie Maggard’s reaction.]

There’s only going to be one John Schlarman. The beloved architect of the Big Blue Wall left an irreplaceable legacy that will carry on for generations. Schlarman constructed an offensive line with a distinct personality that’s endearing and unique to Kentucky. Eric Wolford was charged with continuing the unit’s culture that emphasized player development.
