Analysis: Talk about SEC experience. Not only did Rocker play along Auburn’s defensive line and win both the Outland and Lombardi Trophy in 1988, but he’s been a highly sought-after defensive line coach by many SEC schools. He even coached in the NFL. Rocker has coached for four different SEC teams and coached the defensive line of the Tennessee Titans as well. The Vols need to get the most out of their front seven, and Rocker has the potential to help them achieve that.
