Traylor not coaching now? Or just leaving after the game?

HMMM I remember when people said this kind of stuff doesn’t happen. He will be out recruiting they said. I guess my comment about the new HC coaching the bowl game wasn’t that crazy after all. Maybe the same for my criticism with this pick...

Not a traitor imo. Coach Dykes may have asked him to leave. We don’t know.

Great. Now all his time will be game prep and we'll lose more recruits. Couple this with him having to massage the fragile egos of the players who didn't want him and subsequent loss by 4 touchdowns makes this a win, win, win!

This is an intriguing development. I don't think something like this has happened since Brian Kelly did it with Cincy.

This could either go really well and help smooth things over with the players, or it could go horribly horribly wrong and sour the players before he even gets an offseason with them.

It certainly makes the game wayyyyyyy more interesting.

much better than having those scumbags from arky coach the game ( stepp). I am not overwhelmed with this hire but hope he will do well and continue our upward trend. we at ;east need to give him a chance. hope he will hire a really good staff and hit the recruiting trail quickly.

Does that ever happened? Seems like the risks are too high. Unless all the coaches quit and he had no choice. Maybe our AD didn’t want anyone on that staff.

How long do the coaches get to prepare the team in games like the senior bowl/Under Armor game, etc?

For those more filled with knowledge, how does dykes call plays for an offense he doesn't run? Looks like Ben is running this one himself.

Since Dykes has coached at TCU I wonder if he will put the actual TCU 4-2-5 defense in place at SMU.

Dykes calls the offensive plays. Nobody has been calling the defense all season so no loss there.
