In a day full of unexpected coaching developments, here’s the latest one.
Georgia officials have confirmed that Tracy Rocker is no longer a part of Kirby Smart‘s coaching staff. No reason for the abrupt and unexpected divorce was given.
Rocker had spent the past three seasons as the Bulldogs’ line coach. In 2015, Mark Richt‘s last season at the school, Rocker was given the added title of associate head coach.
Before coming to Georgia, Rocker spent three seasons in the same position with the NFL’s Tennessee Titans. Prior to that, the College Football Hall of Famer spent two years working the line at his alma mater Auburn.
Rocker and Kevin Sherrer were the only Richt assistants retained by Smart when he took the reins following the 2015 season. Sherrer remains on staff as the Bulldogs’ outside linebackers coach.
