Rockey was also one of our own, who later came back to work for the guy who replaced him. I think most would view bashing Rockey like bashing their own kin.Quote:

It takes about 10 years or so for our fans to "forget" about the last coach. It's natural I guess. The good thing is our fans also tend to "forgive"- see hiring Rockey back as an assistant on the staff by the coach who replaced him and to be honest if you asked a lot of our fans if they would take Croom back as a running backs coach I would be willing to be that the majority would say yes.Quote:

He won the SEC player of the year in 1974 as well which was back in the dark ages of MSU football when we never went to a bowl game and rarely beat Ole Miss. Felker was the closest thing we had to Dak at that time and a lot of people would have made a strong argument that he was our greatest QB of all time before Dak.Quote:
