Why is Sonny being allowed to coach tomorrow?

[Dukie]

Curious: How did SMU respond poorly? The only thing I can think of is that Dykes was ready and willing to sign here, but we wouldn't give him what he thinks he needed to get to the next level.

Didn’t you state definitively a few hours ago in another thread that SMU would *not* give him all he needed? Why state it as a question here?

Guessing the players wanted him to coach today.

Admin probably wanted to hold off the departure as long as possible because they couldn’t get a replacement in place and recruit departures could have been worse?

Maybe Troy wasn’t too surprised or mad when Troy Neal left for WVU after three years.

My question is the sentence that ends with a question mark.

who knows, maybe in the future, Dykes will be an advocate in SMU's corner.

interesting- SD not wearing SMU coat/jacket etc.

I

Isn't that one of those TripleD SMU coats he has on? Not sure, but looks like it.

[soccermom]

Yes

Yes he is. There are plenty of other reasons to hate on him.

He didn't coach today or for the last month as far as I could tell.

Hw has not coached in a month.

I wonder who will coach the bowl game.

I don’t understand how anyone should not be pissed off at Dykes for his behavior. Telling recruits to decommit while employed at SMU should be enough to have wrath at the SOB, but to do that against your biggest football rival only the devil does that. There are certain unwritten rules in sports, and coaches at the biggest rivals don’t go to the other rival. You don’t see a HC at Ohio State to go Michigan or Vice versa, or NC / Duke, Texas / A&M, or in other sports a coach at Barcelona to Madrid, it just doesn’t happen because it is assumed this is never considered when you assume the face of the program. I was fooled by SD and wish him nothing but failure not just because it’s TCU but because of what he did. Actions speak louder than words and he’s basically told SMU to screw itself. Any self respecting alum, fan should find this unacceptable.

That’s a P5 school to a P5 school. This is a non P5 school to a P 5 school. Completely different scenario. This is more like going from FIU to coach at Florida State.

It isn’t like FIU to Florida State. FIU and FSU haven’t played 100 times, with a close series record, with FIU winning the last two at FSU.

This is like the BYU coach (back when they got denied to the Big 12 several years ago), going to Utah in the PAC-12

Oh good, more patronizing.

First you stated that SMU’s offer to Sonny “did not contain non-financial items he considered necessary.” No doubt, no qualification. Later, you post the above as a questioning, possible answer to the question. Those are very different takes on the exact same topic. So I was curious which you really meant and if you actually had any info.
