AubieIsMyHero 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Would the possible NFL lockout affect his decision? If there was a good possibility of not playing next year, why would he want to leave? Because he's not a player anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msg6367 1 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I would love for Rocker to stay but if he's offered the position I think he'll take it. Everybody wants the opportunity to be able to move to the next level so I don't blame him at all. If he does leave, I hope CGC hires a replacement very soon. The new coach will have to start building relationships with the 2012 recruiting prospects and get to know the AU d-line in time for spring practice.

El_Cid2001 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 From my understanding the team would have to pay him regardless of a lockout or not. He is not bound by the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. If he likes the staff at the Titans and the ownership then he should take the job. This is not like taking the Vandy HC job.

bird36 5 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I hope he stays but if he goes then I want to say: THANK YOU FOR STAYING THROUGH RECRUITING. He helped Auburn put together a nice DL class and we would have been scrambling if he had left in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ausubmariner 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Congrats Coach Rocker!!!! I want to thank you for all that you have done, both on and off the field, for the Auburn Family. As you make your decision we will be praying that you will get the wisdom and knowlege of God's will for you and recieve all of His blessings! It is soooo great to see hard work and great values rewarded. Coach Rocker is a great coach, mentor and role model for us all. If he takes the job he will be missed. I would caution everyone on saying he should or shouldn't take the job. There are many things more important than pay and title. IMHO happiness and work environment was worth at least 25% of my salary. I am a little warped ... ok a lot warped, but that is just my $.02.

JMDurron 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Would the possible NFL lockout affect his decision? If there was a good possibility of not playing next year, why would he want to leave? Right now, it looks like a lockout followed by a almost-full season anyway, so I doubt it's much of a problem. Plus, as has been pointed out, he gets paid anyway. Also, any lockout time would give him more time to get integrated with the rest of the coaching staff, since it's not like they'd be busy coaching up the players.

DyeCampAlum 335 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sounds like they want him. It's what I call a vocational decision. What sort of life does he want? He can stay at Auburn, doing good work and making outstanding money, until he retires. Whereas if he goes to Nashville, how long will it be before he has to move again? On the other hand, maybe he wants to make more money. Maybe he's interested in the NFL. Maybe he wants to be a coordinator or a head coach. I could see it either way.

CammyCamJuice1345162966 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Bummer. I know he's a great coach and deserves any such promotion, but I was hoping this staff would stick together for year #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_ 3 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I can in no way fault Coach Rocker for wanting to move to the NFL. Now if it had been to another school that would be different but as it is I wish Coach Rocker all the success in the world and give him my thanks for all he has done for Auburn. I’ll also say with what this staff has done in two years and especially after winning a NC I am absolutely amazed that we have only lost one assistant coach from the original staff. That in and of itself should show everyone the level of dedication this staff has to Auburn. War Eagle coach and best of luck to you! :wareagle: :wareagle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
