Rodney Garner — Defensive line coach
“Rodney Garner, our defensive line coach, has coached 30-plus years inside of the SEC. This is his second go-around here at Tennessee. I think he’s got over 10 first round draft picks at the defensive line position. He’s known and is a great recruiter just because he’s genuine. He is who he is and does a great job of developing relationships. I’ve seen that in the short amount of time that he’s been here. His ability to impact our players in a positive way with a clear set of standards and expectations and getting those guys to really buy in – he’s elite as far as being a teacher at defensive line play. His ability to teach those guys overall scheme, but really the fundamentals and technique at that position will allow us to recruit the best.” — Josh Heupel on Rodney Garner
