Sonny Dykes to TCU??

[shadowman]

Collishaw from the DMN still indicates that Dykes will not take the TCU job because he believes he could get a much better job down the road.

It is interesting though that TCU has yet to announce a new coach.

Hopefully Sonny will sign his SMU deal here soon. Figure TCU will announce their coach before December 10th, so we should know soon.

Meanwhile the team is twisting in the wind wondering who their coach will be tomorrow.

What facility upgrades might Sonny be seeking?

[SMU Pom Mom]

You mean nothing but needlessly allowing and protracting and fueling speculation about leaving for TCU and needlessly distracting the team in the middle of what was then an undefeated season - all to leverage a contract for more money.

This is all second-hand, but I hear this isn't about money. The money is already on the table to make Sonny and his staff some of the highest – if not the highest – paid outside P5. The sticking point has been SMU's commitment to facilities upgrades. This is Sonny's opportunity to negotiate the things he feels are necessary to compete.

I for one would like to see something splashy announced, if for no other reason that is shows the Big-whatever and the other P5s that SMU means business.

I agree. We went through this some years ago when Fitz was being courted by the NFL and he stayed after getting commitments to increase assistant coach salaries and getting an IPF. It was about program building more than just his own pay. But these kind of discussions take time, so patience is needed. Just remember that you get two marshmallows if you wait.

FWIW, seeing a lot of conjecture on the pay site / Twitter that Sonny to TCU is imminent.

It's looking that way....better get your tickets early, for that SMU-TCU game next season!

If Sonny wanted to stay at SMU, he would have committed a month ago. It's that simple. The deal has been in place. F that nonsense "we are still working out details". Give me a break.

He is as good as gone and has been since SMU wasn't invited to the Big 12. Hart needs to be gone as well as I've been saying since he destroyed SMU basketball and Moody Coliseum

Destroyed Moody is a colossal understatement.

Anyone seeing anything of note from 24/7 boards? All I am seeing is the emoji tweet from Steven Godfrey that has everyone worked up.

Pony^ - couldn't agree more. My biggest issue now is that nothing will happen to little rickey and he will continue to destroy our sports programs.

Before every big game TCU starts this noise.

You’ve been doing so well but here you go again, you just can’t refrain from calling names.

Huh? name calling?? just repeating the name used by another PF poster a long time ago.
glad somebody appointed you the 'hall monitor'.

Remember when Little Rickey created a fake twitter to praise himself.

Dude needs to go
