Smart to keep 2 Bulldog defensive assistants

Georgia announced that defensive line coach Tracy Rocker and outside linebackers coach Kevin Sherrer would be retained by new coach Kirby Smart. Multiple reports also say that running backs coach Thomas Brown is heading to Miami to join Mark Richt as UM’s co-offensive coordinator.

Smart has some history with Sherrer from their days at Alabama. Sherrer was director of player development for the Crimson Tide from 2010-12.

Rocker hasn’t worked with Smart. But the two have crossed paths numerous times in recruiting circles while Rocker was an assistant at Ole Miss and Auburn before moving on to Athens.
