Garner definitely stopped coaching at the peak of his game and got a little apathetic at the ending for UGA, but don't kid yourself into thinking he was not head and shoulders above what you replaced him with


Horse shite, he'd been sleepwalking the previous 2-3 years. Chris Wilson was a step up from those years.


Wilson was much more than "head and shoulders above" Garner. He was orbiting on a satellite while Rodney was tunneling toward the Earth's core.

Wilson actually recruited instead of pissing off recruits and showing up to HS/in-homes drunk and he could coach a 3 man line effectively instead of just bitching about it and not even producing a decent 4 down line (which is where RG was supposed to shine).

Garner should have been fired along with Martinez and crew. Good riddance from our point of view, but good for him and good for you guys that the change of scenery seems to have reignited the desire in him to do his job.

As far as vs who we have now, I'll concede that Rodney is the better recruiter, but he is not half the coach Rocker is and the Aubs know it.

Our 2012 line was the final indictment on Garner as a DL coach at Georgia. All 3 starters are currently in the NFL and had several future NFLers as backups, and it was a dogshit unit.

as someone who's watched both men's DLs perform, give me RG over Rocker.... outside of 2010 and his last year at Ole Miss, he's produced some pretty average (at best) DLs... and he's never coached in a defense like this either.

good luck...

Just like Garner got reignited recruitingat Auburn, so is Rocker.

Rocker was well known as being an absentee when it came to recruiting. Hell, Mike Pelton was a better recruiter than Rocker

If Rocker is actually hitting the trail though and doing what it takes, he could be an elite recruiter but I doubt it lasts
