If you don't know, the California schools are essentially broker. Furthermore, the people of California are skeptical of any spending on athletics.

Reading the attached link, I wonder if we could convince Sonny Dykes to come home to Texas.

Downside - He could decide to hold onto the Cal job until Kingsbury gets fired (1-2 years max).

Maybe SMU should go after Dennis Allen since he was fired from the Raiders yesterday. And since we have some posters that want us to get a coach that was fired from somewhere else.

Dykes hasn't been fired. Considering what he inherited, he seems to be doing a nice job.


BTW -given its current ownership, I don't think that Vince Lombardi could coach the Raiders. They are hopeless.

I know Dykes has not been fired that is why I said Dennis Allen.

Administrators wouldn't allow him. His name is not politically correct.

Correction: His name IS politically correct!

Dennis Allen has still 2 years on his contract, so wonder if he would be willing to give up that money? Good choice otherwise.

Mike Ditka
Hank Stram
Paul Brown
Jon Gruden
Andy Reid
Mike Leach
Bill Belicheck
Steve Spurrier
Lou Holtz
Nick Saban
Pete Carroll
Butch Davis
Bobby Petrino
Ron Meyer


BTW - how many times was Larry Brown Fired?

Good list- Did you forget Bill Cowher? Actually some of those would be good candidates.

I was joking when I said Dennis Allen.

By the way, in the list you compiled all those coaches were assistants at one time before becoming a head coach.

I too sense some restless natives in Lubbock....
Hard to believe the honeymoon could already be over?
The "rock star" better win some big games or you could be right.

It's Lubbock! My honey moon with my Ex-wife(west Texas/Lubbock girl) was over before the wedding.

Lubbock was just voted most boring city
