ESPN ticker

Postby ponyinNC » Wed Nov 30, 2016 9:23 am

Watching Mike and Mike this morning, the story came across the ESPN ticker:

"Baylor to focus their search for a new football coach on California's Sonny Dykes, after Chad Morris elects to remain with SMU. Morris is expected to sign a contract extension with SMU through 2022."

I just loved it. The headline reads that Baylor tried to get our coach, and was not only rebuffed by Morris, but now he is inking a longer term deal with SMU.

Now we Ponyfans members know that there was more to it than that, but to the AVERAGE espn viewer, all they know is SMU's coach decided to reject an offer from a P5, Big 12 program to remain at SMU long term.

If he is able to tell recruits that he turned down an offer to coach a power 5 team, that will go a long way, when he is asking recruits to do the same. Very possible that we could be going head to head vs. Baylor as much as UH for recruits in the next year.

We don't know all of the details. And though we know that negotiations went south, there likely was an offer, which he did not accept.
