Rodney Garner has decided to remain with Tennessee.
Rodney Garner, Tennessee’s defensive line coach, has been a significant asset to the program in recent years. Despite occasional struggles in pass defense, his units consistently disrupted football games, produced NFL talent, and recruited at an elite level. Given his success, Garner has attracted attention from other universities, including Auburn.
Amid speculation that Garner might return to his alma mater, reports indicated otherwise. VolQuest’s Austin Price confirmed that Garner will remain at the University of Tennessee for the upcoming season. This news is significant for Tennessee’s coaching staff, which remains fully intact this offseason.
Head coach Josh Heupel emphasizes unity among his staff, and Garner has been a cornerstone of the Vols’ defensive strategy. His return underscores an exciting offseason for the defensive line unit and sets the stage for continued success based on last season’s strong performance.
