Just a week after National Signing Day 2017 in which the Bulldogs hauled in a top-3 recruiting class, the University of Georgia has parted ways with defensive line coach Tracy Rocker.
Rocker was one of just two assistant coaches retained by Georgia Head Coach Kirby Smart from the previous coaching staff and has been with the Bulldogs for the past 3 seasons. Rocker was named Georgia’s defensive line coach back on January 28th of 2014 when then Defensive Coordinator Jeremy Pruitt who the University hired to replace Todd Grantham during Mark Richt’s tenure as Head Coach, was able to lure him away from the NFL and the Tennessee Titans.
UGA confirms to Dawg Post that DL coach Tracy Rocker is no longer with the football program…
