<![CDATA[Not the departure we were expecting.]]>This is both abrupt and mysterious.

Tracy Rocker has left Georgia after three years as defensive line coach.

The circumstances of Rocker’s departure are not clear. A team spokesman simply confirmed that Rocker was “no longer with the program.” He becomes the first member of head coach Kirby Smart’s staff to leave this offseason.

I sure thought he was a major upgrade as a position coach over Garner. However, it sounds like there are more than a few hints out there about his recruiting being subpar, like this one.

Tracy Rocker was well loved by his charges, but missing out on back to back 5-star defensive linemen in GA has to have been disappointing.

Still I’m sorry to see him go. At least we’ll have something to speculate about before spring practice.
