I got ripped for not being on board with this hire. Numbers playing out as advertised… My post from three years ago ———————— Some numbers for the uninformed: 1. 71-62 career record over 12 years 2. 1 conference championship in 12 years, and that was in the WAC 10 years ago. 3. 5-22...

The sooner TCU wakes up and moves on from Dykes, the better. 7-8 over his last 15, with two of the wins being against D2 schools. The program has become soft, losing is acceptable. The defense has been a disaster since he stepped on campus. He looks completely lost on the sideline. The guy is...

If Gillespie is indeed fired, Dykes will be on his four DC over a seven year period at the P5 level. Everyone one of them he hired, than had to turn around and fire them. He went through two DC’s at Cal.

Gillespie will be ket go (and rightfully so). Dykes will be forced to use that card to appease the fanbase and make the easy move. That said if your expecting the next guy to be a major improvement, I suggest you temper expectations. Below are the point against ranks over Dykes coaching...

Gary needed to absolutely go, probably a couple years earlier than he did, and Sonny is absolutely not the right guy, and being exposed for what he has always been, a mediocre to bad coach.

Just stop. You don't replace Lincoln Riley with Sonny Dykes. They would get absolutely roasted for that and rightfully so.

LOL, it's not a major signing for us. Half our fanbase is impartial to it, or flat out dislikes it. They would riot in Norman if this came to pass. The AD would have to go into the witness protection program.

Exactly. You want to see the city of Norman burn to the ground, that is exactly what would happen if they hired Dykes. Sonny Dykes and his career .500 record. are not going anywhere near OU, he will not even get a phone call to gauge interest.

None of these guys are a sure thing, but I would have preferred to roll the dice on Napier as opposed to Dykes. I pretty much know what I’m going to get with Dykes after 12 years. I do agree with many his immediate floor is probably a bit higher than Napier, but I believe Napier has much more...

Lost four out of his last five, 1-3 now overall against Tulsa, and another November collapse. I understand the distraction angle of the hire for his players, but it fits right into his reoccurring narrative and overall trends. It was stupid for him to coach that game today. I hope this works...

He is a career .500 coach, who can’t beat top 25 teams, can’t beat teams with winning records, and did not come close to winning the AAC while at SMU. He beat two [ Finebaum ]ty TCU teams, which is probably his greatest accomplishment at SMU, and that seems to be real important to some. He sucks in...

It defiantly played into it, but Dykes has been bad in November since he took over at SMU. Loses 4 out of 5 down the stretch, now 1-3 against Tulsa overall, with the one win coming in overtime

Much appreciated.

The numbers are the numbers....

Are they not the least bit concerned they settled on a career .500 coach (over 130 games), who is 5-22 against top 25 teams, has a losing record against teams over .500, has one conference championship to his name a decade ago, and consistently fields defenses rankled in the bottom 25% of all D1...

Can you imagine if this happened? The ultimate gut punch.....

50%, that's what his history will tell you. He will win one out of every five against ranked teams, will be below .500 against teams with winning records, and will beat the teams with losing records. Wash, rinse, repeat

It’s a straight up bad hire, no doubt about it. I have no idea why JD and the committee settled In on this guy. The numbers associated with him are the definition of mediocre to bad.

From the attached article, you nailed it: "Of the 43 teams in the country that have averaged more than 32 points per game in the last four years, only two have a losing record: Cal (Dykes) and Texas Tech."

This fanbase is the main culprit, all the Kool aid Drinkers on the message boards, etc. Some articles that pop up here and there, some podcast that mentioned the attractiveness of the job. I personally think this job probably slots somewhere between 35 and 50 nationally. 35 was probably in...
