SMU football head coach Sonny Dykes met the media after Saturday's scrimmage/practice to discuss the team's progress in preseason camp, update a couple of key injuries and address when he and his staff will turn their attention to the Mustangs' first opponent

This coach Dykes is brilliant...every time I listen to him, I am so very impressed with his overall observations. What he did to immediately bring on JC and GT's that can actually start and be contributing on a hopefully winning program out of the shute is outstanding. He runs this team like a CEO in a Major Public Corporation. No puff crap like what we witnessed in the last 3 years.

Coach SD has made all the right moves so far and I believe this is the best position we're going into a season at since 2011. I can't wait to see what the product looks like on the field in less than 2 weeks now and although I am sure there will be some hiccups I think all of the initial detractors who didn't renew their season tickets will be very pleased/surprised by the play of our 'Stangs. Beat NTSU and then bring on TCwho at home!

Too early to judge but it certainly appears Sonny is the best hire we've made post death-penalty in terms of trying to build on what the guy before him left behind. I was very disappointed the way some of our previous coaches tore things down before building the program back up to the level it is at today. To this day, I wonder what might have happened and where we would be today if Chad Morris had taken over JJ's program when it was coming off those consecutive bowl appearances instead of after he let it collapse.

Chad would have been gone after 2-3 seasons so we would have needed to make another good hire (probably Tom Herman) and another one but assuming all that happened then we'd be a Top 25 program right now.
