There won’t be a dry eye in the house this Saturday for Senior Day at Kroger Field. Not because it will be the final home game for many well-respected Wildcats, but because Eric Wolford is returning to his Old Kentucky Home.
Yes, Coach Wolf is coming back in the Bluegrass.
The last time Eric Wolford left Lexington, he was recruiting on behalf of the Wildcats following the 2021 season. The Kentucky offensive line coach made a stunning move instead, joining Nick Saban’s staff to coach the same position.
The lack of notice appeared to burn bridges on the way out the door.
