UGA fired former DL coach Rocker, documents show
Former defensive line coach Tracy Rocker was dismissed by the university, according to documents obtained by The Telegraph through the state’s Open Records Act.
A hand-delivered notice of termination was given to Rocker and signed by athletics director Greg McGarity about the program’s decision. The university is still obligated to pay Rocker his $525,000 salary through the calendar year ending on Dec. 31.
If Rocker finds another job, the university will only pay the difference of the amount left on the deal or won’t pay any of the remaining sum if the salary is equal or greater value. As of now, it has not been reported whether Rocker has found another coaching job.
