Tracy Rocker to be retained as defensive line coach?

FootballScoop.com is citing sources (sources!) who indicate that Kirby Smart plans to retain Tracy Rocker on his new staff. Rocker, a former Auburn defensive lineman with experience coaching effectively in both college and the pros, came to Athens following Chris Wilson's departure for Southern Cal. He's coached a series of UGA defenders who have improved under his tutelage. He's also recruited extremely well, bringing in the nation's top defensive tackle in the 2015 class, Trenton Thompson. Rocker's also built strong relationships with several top 2016 prospects, including Lanier DT Derrick Brown, possibly the top player in the state.
