at end of June
No, I had not heard. Who is taking his place? What ever happened to the Coach Austin guy?
Congrats to him! He is a great Bulldog.
Need some input from Ifyouonlyknew
Retired end of June. Great Bulldog and friend. Job announcement posted on HR site.
Great Bulldog.....I think he was our last player to win SEC Player of the Year (unless Dak won it).
Didn't know that . Hope he enjoys his retirement, he deserves it.
I owe a great deal and have much admiration for him. He is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. He hired me as a GA in 1990, which happened to be his last year as HC at MSU. I was fortunate to stay on another year when Jackie was hired in Dec. 1990. But, Rocky gave me the break and chance to grow as a coach and be at MSU. Its very exciting to be involved with your school you grew up loving and being a fan.Quote:

We owe him a special debt of gratitude for holding the program and recruiting class together in 2009 after Croom was fired. He held that class together, Mullen closed it.
He will be coming back part time soon. I can't remember the exact number if it's 60 or 90 days that he has to wait. But him and Strat are both coming back in new roles in the ad department. I know strat will be Cohen's assistant but have not heard a title on rocky yet.
Wouldn't surprise me if Rockey goes to work for the Bulldog Club
Rocky was the QB when I was at State. Couple of great games that bowl year. The Memphis State comeback with 2 min left and the Sun Bowl win. A good guy and a good dawg.
I understand his wife is in a battle with cancer that has been going on for a few years....I wish them well
Hell, I thought it was Germans because it happened in June.
Looks like I broke the damn story judging by all the media just now reporting it today on Twitter
