FWST: Former SMU star Eric Dickerson takes exception to Sonny Dykes leaving for TCU

[COWTOWN FAN]

My Dad was a big SMU alum and supporter......mucho pay going on and it wasn't only for Dickerson. UT was livid as SMU out bid and out smarted them on the combo pony express signing. Of course everyone is doing it now, so what do we do?

We Pay, just like everyone else but the big $$ go to QB plus offensive and defensive linemen. We cannot realistically believe we will win a Big 12 championship in the coming seasons without those $$ for 4 & 5* athletes. However, the other universities will be paying right along with us but at least we know have a competent CEO to navigate this evolving terrain.

Who is the competent CEO?

Who is the competent CEO?

Well, it's not me but my vote would be Sonny Dykes (until proven otherwise).

Here's a quote from Eric:
"I had a big TCU alum tell me, ‘I didn’t know he was coming back here to be the head coach. We don’t want his ass back here anyways.”
Apparently he thinks big TCU alums speak the same kind of language he does.

 

[NORMLFROG]

Man, some of y'all get the red ass over minor stuff. It's like TCU has thin skin or something.

Funny how a guy who hasn't supported his own school for forty years is mad about this.

Former SMU star Eric Dickerson takes exception to Sonny Dykes leaving for TCU

BY Big Steaming Pile

It took decades but the best football player in SMU’s history is in a good place with his alma mater, as evidenced by Eric Dickerson’s feelings about the Mustangs previous football coach leaving for a rival across town.

“I’ll say this, I don’t know coach [Sonny] Dykes well, but to me that shows a lot about the character of a person,” Dickerson said in a phone interview this week when asked about Dykes’ leaving SMU to accept the TCU head coaching job.

Dickerson, 61, has a new book out, Watch My Smoke, in which he does not hold back on any topic, from his infamous days at SMU to his time with the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts.

I mean, it's not like Dykes accepted a gold Trans Am from aggy then decommitted and signed with SMU.

 

[Wexahu]

I'm embarrassed he was one of my favorite NFL players when I was a kid. Ever since my brain became somewhat fully developed, the guy has always seemed like a giant d-bag to me.

I usually don't get upset over stuff like this, but I have always had a genuine dislike for Dickerson. He's an ass. Always has been, always will be.

 

[Prince of Purpoole II]

meh.

Someone wrote a book and needs to be relevant for a minute

 

[BrewingFrog]

He is only slightly more tolerable than Craig James (Killed five hookers while at SMU)

Allegedly...

 

[BrewingFrog]

C'mon! There was nothing like watching LT romp for 300 yards on "Eric Dickerson Night" some years ago...

 

[StealthFrog]

what's funny is Dickerson didn't want anything to do with SMU for over 30 years, now all of sudden he has hot takes on the coaching situation. I bet we can count on one hand how many times ED has been on the SMU campus since Soul Glo was popular.

Who cares?

 

[An-Cap Frog]

ED to SMU = COVID to 2021

 

[HornyWartyToad]

ED to SMU = COVID to 2021

ED=Erectile Dysfunction. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[froginaustin]

Eric’s funny. Not intentionally.
I hope he keeps talking.

His masterclass on the Aggie Honor Code is one of my favorite things.
