What the frogs bought.

froggies gonna croak when they discover SDs famous Nov. swoon.

My perception based on what we know now is that his folksy, hometown persona is just a bunch of BS and he is actually one of the phoniest, insincere coaches we've had at SMU, he just hides it better than others...why else would he have gone to coach at California, of all places..

California of all places? Geez.

Frogs got exactly what we got...a good coach.

SMU had our prom date back out on Sunday night to go with "Biff"...it hurts and we are mad. So be it.

We have a new date...focus on that....er, him...uh...

Somehow after writing this attempt at an analogy, I feel kind of weird...

Apparently, Sonny can recruit pretty well. He got Samples, OL coach A.J. Ricker and Director of Recruiting Operations Tyler Olker to follow him plus got this ace recruiter, and UH alum, to come to Ft Worth

My sources tell me they are thrilled A.J. Ricker is leaving. As the season progressed they came to the conclusion A.J. Ricker is terrible and Lashlee would have fired him anyway.

Pretty much all of our remaining commits are recruited by Ricker. I doubt he is a dud and think it would be very valuable for him to stay.

Used "tempo copter" with new paint?

Funny to see a few of the players bag on the guys that left - either seriously or tongue in cheek:

Hailey
Williams

I do not know why Dykes & Co. were allowed to coach last week. TCU (Dykes, Samp, etc. & recruits) launching a full-on PR blitz.

What they bought was an above average coach.

Fort Worth has a problem with Dallas envy. For a long long time.

This is why they stole an above average coach because he beat
you twice in a row

[Sewanee Stang]

TCU has a massive inferiority complex and three years of mediocrity have resulted in the firing of a legend and the violation of a long standing gentlemen's agreement not to poach a coach from an in-state peer institution. They overpaid for an above average coach. I can't wait for them to fail. SOBs.

Zach Evans was obviously verrry impressed with the new coaching staff. Didn't take long for him to buy a bus ticket out of Cowtown.

TCU will always be little brother to SMU!

[MDJenkins]

I can’t stand TCU. However, with that said, until recently they have been able to consistently win in a more competitive and visible conference and retain a good/winning coach and competent AD. What a difference a solid AD adds to a successful program. It’s not difficult to figure out the equation.

Today's confirmation on the CBS site must have been written long ago:

Both Samples and Riley will almost certainly receive consideration for the head coaching job at SMU with Dykes' departure, not to mention other Power Five opportunities. Dykes keeping them in the fold would be a coup. Regardless, Dykes has hired extremely well during his time at SMU.
