former Wrote:Coach Larkey wasnt fortunate to have talent every year at Rock, he was good at what he did by what he did best, I wonder what Rock would have done if he had stayed, Im sure he didnt leave because of lack of talent coming up. The biggest mistake I saw was getting rid of the traditions the team had always had like not going through the spirit line and going down the stands. That really turned a lot of fans against the program. You dont change what worked.
I didn't mean that he left because the team was gonna be down, I just think anyone that thinks it wasn't a factor had to be kidding themselves. I don't believe it was the 1st or even 2nd biggest factor, but it had to be somewhere in the corner of his mind.
Many coaches have left teams in a LOT worse position than what Tom did at Rock. I am not trying to paint him as a bad guy or a Captain leaving a sinking ship. I just honestly don't think anyone could have won 8 or 9 games with either of the Rock teams from the last two year. The leadership and talent were not at the level needed.
