New SMU head coach Sonny Dykes will coach SMU in the Dec. 20 Frisco Bowl, a source told SportsDay. Interim head coach Jeff Traylor will be leaving to accept a position on former SMU head coach Chad Morris' staff at Arkansas.

SMU and Dykes agreed to a deal for him to become SMU's new head coach on Monday. The former California head coach spent the past season as an offensive analyst at TCU.

In an ironic twist, Dykes will be coaching against his first head coaching job in the Frisco Bowl. SMU will face Louisiana Tech, where Dykes worked for three seasons and won a WAC title in 2011.

How is Dykes the "interim" head coach? Didn't he get hired full-time? Or is the head football coach at smu a part time job now?
