Probably because Rocker is more Israelite than War Eagle. That dude's on the move every 3 years. A good bumper sticker would be "Honk your horn if Tracy Rocker coached your program's defensive line."

Or maybe an Auburn guy would rather be waterboarded than coach at Georgia, Tennessee or Alabama.

Two other things in play here. Stacy Searels had to give a strong recommendation since Searles is also an Auburn grad and was a GA there in 92 and 93. Richt has to know this guy very well as he recruited the school and Simpson was manufacturing championship after championship.
