The one position with the most confusion around it during this search has been defensive line. So unsurprisingly the hire ended up catching many folks by surprise. Per numerous reports, former All-American, Outland and Lombardi award winner Tracy Rocker is expected to return to the Plains for a second stint as defensive line coach.
Former Auburn DL great Tracy Rocker, who won the Outland and Lombardi Trophies, is in the mix to return to the Tigers staff under new HC Bryan Harsin, per source. The South Carolina DL coach was the Tigers D-line coach when they won the national title.
