Sonny Dykes Statue at SMU

[ALEX LIFESON]

People thought Chad Morris was a low life, details will be coming soon about Sonny Swoon, that will make Chad look like honest Abe Lincoln. Sonny will go down as the most despised dirtbag...in Mustang history. Little Ricky should put Dykes on administrative leave, so he can't be in the building or sideline Saturday.

[BIGHORSE]

He will be a perfect fit with the purple trash.

[smubrooks]

Anything you can share now?

[CBpony]

Yeah I don't want to see him on the sideline. F him

[Bergermeister]

Some folks seem to think that Sonny was the be-all-end-all SMU coach. Sonny Dykes made a positive contribution to SMU football. He is making a career move coaches make all the time. It goes with the profession. If he thinks going elsewhere is a good move, I wish him well. We will have a new staff with good coaches and good recruiters. We will continue to improve. Personally, I look forward to an exciting new staff. I just can't bring myself to direct any ill will toward Sonny or any of his staff.
Beat Tulsa!

The only problem I have is that he’s going to tcu. It’s a rival school. And I know they have P5 money and access, but personally I don’t think it’s a move up. Had he gone to tech, oh well, thanks for what you’ve done and good luck. But tcu, ugh, I hope you crash and burn in year one !!

[redpony]

totally agree.

Any other P5 school I’d be upset but I’d understand. The fact that he’s going just across the metroplex in our same recruiting bubble, plus it seems cherry picking the best recruits from this years staff is a POS move. He knows how to recruit this area and that is going to be a huge disadvantage for any coach coming in here

That's because Sonny kept saying he really wanted to build something national here. That at least
implies long term commitment. Coaches are always talking to you about commitment

Pose him for his statue with his hand on the hood of a junker car trying to sell it. Then put a real
junker underneath his hand.

If it wasn't supposed to be raining Saturday, I'd propose someone should get permission to hold a an old time pep rally car bash on the Blvd. so game goers could relieve their frustrations Put a carboard laminate of Sonny next to the car.

Lol they can have Mordecai. He kept refereeing to SMU as “they” in the recent D Magazine article about Dykes and SMU. His stats were pumped up due to our wide receiver talent and lack of opposing d talent not his. He played scarred against good competition. Still remember when he came in for Rattler against UT and almost [deleted] his pants on the field.

Thank you, Bergermeister. I am disappointed, especially with a likely move to TCU, which is salt on the wound. But, making him a Judas is too much for me.

We are still G5 and our future is success will depend on a new HC and staff. Sonny did contribute to our return to relevancy and everyone, including SD, would benefit from a long tenure @ SMU for him. We need to demonstrate our brand is now one of consistency, fan support, and ability to give P5 schools a tough game.

Don't think the NCAA would OK 2 moves home (TX) for Mordecai Maybe to Baylor.

First saw him play when Waco Midway barely beat my Longview Lobos by 28 - 26 in the 6A Div.
2 semi-finals on a 30s degree rainy night at Allen Stadium. He fumbled with 1:08 left to give
Longview a chance to win.

"A third-down Longview pass attempt was picked off with 1:05 left but, once again, the Lobos got
another shot when Jared Reese recovered a (Mordecai) fumble at the Panther 38-yard line.

After a 21-yard run from Williams, the Midway defense stuffed a run, forcing a 29-yard field goal
attempt that missed wide left with three seconds left, sending Midway on to the state championship
game."

Are they making Samples the OC?
Have any recruits decommitted from SMU? I saw a TCU decommit going to UT.
It’s always bad form to recruit for your next team while still employed with current team, especially when they have overlapping recruiting territory.
