Report: New Auburn assistant coach expected to leave for NFL job
The Auburn Tigers recently hired DL coach Tracy Rocker away from the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Now, it seems the Auburn alum could be on the move once again before he ever coaches a game at his alma mater.
Per Yahoo’s Pete Thamel, the Philadelphia Eagles are targeting Rocker for their DL coach opening. And, per Thamel, Rocker is indeed expected to make the jump to the pro ranks:
Sources: The Philadelphia Eagles have targeted Auburn's Tracy Rocker to be the new defensive line coach. He's expected to join Jonathan Gannon's defensive staff in Philadelphia.

Rocker coached at Tennessee from 2017-19 before making the jump to South Carolina in 2020. He had previously coached defensive line at Auburn from 2009 to 2010.
Will he remain in the pro ranks for very long? We’ll see what happens as the Eagles continue to put together a new coaching staff.
Bwahahaha at Auburn, you lose to usc, poach loser coach from usc, pay buyout to usc, to then leave less than 2 weeks later. Couldn’t happen to a better group of people except clemson or Georgia
A nicer comment might have been, what goes around, comes around. You might want to remember that.
That’s something the nasty ga fans need to remember!
Listen someone better start praying for Tracy Rocker. Because something is wrong with him!!!! Coaches don’t just clean out they’re desk and leave one school without any explanation. Then turn around and leave the school they left the other one for, just as quickly if not faster! On top of it all that being they’re home school. Where they played football!!!! I’m serious. Someone needs to check on his STATE OF MIND!!!
He could be suicidal but I hope not. He could be on some kind of drug that is driving him to these wild crazy actions. I’m very very serious here. People who do pray. Need to pray for Tracy Rocker before the news reports something bad. I pray it won’t happen. I hope he is okay. But if not I pray Christ will help him.
Y’all know this is not normal behavior. He could be acting like this as a cry for help!!! Some people are too prideful to come out and say it, when they need help. So they act out instead.
PS. Tracy Rocker if you happen to read this which I doubt without a miracle. Christ is your answer, if your in trouble. Call on him for help and ONLY HIM! He loves you and wants to help you if you need help. It’s okay to go to a doctor if you need to. It doesn’t make you weak. It makes you SMART!!! God gave doctors the smarts and abilities they have. Christ apostle Luke was a physician.

Neagen your annoying alot of times , but i can see in a post around Christmas and New Year and this one. that you can be a kind, caring, normal human being with kindness in your heart.
Somehow less capital letters make Negan seem almost human
Negan=Dweeb
Who would have thought? It would have been cool for Rocker to retire at his Alma Matter.
I can’t say I’m that surprised. Rocker is a Nomad. he hasn’t stayed anywhere for long his entire career.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
He’s not in it for the love of his alma mater or the kids, he’s in it for the money.
Still this should be expected from someone like him.
He didn’t notify SCAR he was leaving for the barn, packed all his stuff and left in the night. The rest of the staff found out when he no-showed a meeting.
Might be a blessing in disguise for Auburn to lose him.
You might be right.
The first time he left Auburn was for the NFL, and he’s doing it again. A lot of people weren’t crazy about bringing him back because everyone knows he doesn’t like the recruiting aspect of college football. This is the first opportunity he’s had since getting canned from the Titans to get back into the NFL. I just hope he can keep a job there, because he’s burned that bridge to return to Auburn. Most schools will probably be skeptical about hiring him now.
Seems he’s burned quite a few bridges lately.
More moves than National Van Lines…and has been one of their better customers too.
thanks for coming
Kirby dumped him after 1 year cuz he was a bad recruiter
