Dick Buescher appears to be about 40 years old and lives in Highland Park, so likely rich, and yet he appears to be morbidly obese and thus may not live to see 2028.
Dykes works adjacent to one of the finest workout facilities in the country, has trainers on staff, is in his 50’s, has a hot thin wife, kids, wealth in the 10’s of millions (has it all) and yet doesn’t seem to have the willpower/discipline to get his belly into the healthy zone, but rather keeps getting fatter - he is obese.

I don't really doubt that boosters are meeting to discuss TCU's football future and whether Dykes is the guy. I hope somebody would suggest spending money on a roster -- like Joey got in Lubbock -- rather than paying Sonny goodbye money. Oh, while also paying the new coach. Oh, and who would that no coach be while blue bloods take the cream of the crop?

Massive buyouts for head coaches are a huge waste of money unless your guy is utterly toxic and/or you have more money than God. Dykes isn't terrible, he's just a mediocrity being paid way too much for too many years. If there's money to buy him out the wise thing would be to make him replace his offensive staff, invest more in players, and absolutely do not give him an extension if he wins. Ride out the contract then hire someone else of similar or greater talent (there are plenty) to a shorter term contract.
Side note: I hate SMU and hope a small meteor hits University Park.

If these schools would invest their money in players instead of buyouts, they would be much happier.

It must suck to be a SMU fan, sucking on any morsel of news about your cross town rival who never gives your school a second thought following the skillet game.

guy seems like a troll. hard to take that seriously when it's written in such trollish fashion.This guy is an SMU grad and shill. Reports for a local sports news website/blog called 214 Coverage.
He posted that TCU boosters are meeting to fire Dykes.
He posted a backhanded story Tuesday making a case for TCU keeping Dykes:

Purple Reign: Why Sonny Dykes Deserves to Stay
Dick Buescher Nov 11, 2025 . Category : Sport
The whispers around Fort Worth grow louder with each loss, but TCU needs to understand something fundamental about its position in Texas football: Sonny Dykes isn't the problem. He's the ceiling.
This isn't Austin, where money flows like the Colorado River. It isn't College Station, where oil fortunes fund whatever fever dream the boosters conjure. Nor is it SMU, a program bankrolled by titans of the business world.
TCU exists in that peculiar space between ambition and arithmetic, where a magical 2022 season becomes both your greatest triumph and cruelest reminder of what you simply cannot sustain.
The Horned Frogs face a marketplace that has never been less forgiving. With LSU, Florida, Penn State, and other dominoes falling, TCU would be fishing in waters already picked clean by programs with deeper pockets and legitimate stories to sell.
The harsh truth? Fort Worth ranks somewhere between Waco and Lubbock on the destination wishlist for elite coaching talent.
Then there's the conference itself, a Big 12 that college football's power brokers treat like the nerdy kid at the cool table. No amount of marketing changes the fact that this league carries all the prestige of a glorified G5 conference.
TCU can win a title and still be an afterthought in the national conversation, which raises an uncomfortable question: what exactly would you be paying a new coach to accomplish?
The administrative carousel hasn't helped. When your leadership turns over like a truck-stop diner's staff, continuity becomes a luxury. Coaches notice these things. Agents definitely do.
But perhaps the most compelling argument for keeping Dykes is the one nobody wants to say out loud: TCU cannot afford to be wrong.
The buyout money, the search firm fees, the inevitable overpay for an unproven coordinator or retreaded name, it's a gamble that could cripple the program for a decade.
This is the reality of being the little brother in a state that worships at altars in Austin, College Station, and Dallas.
TCU had its moment. Now comes the harder part: accepting what that moment actually meant, and understanding that in the modern college football landscape, some ceilings aren't made to be broken.
They're made to keep you in your place.

only thing that guy has been told is that there's a limit on the buffet.

I think someone on the SMU board maybe told him to eat a bag of dicks and he did it. A party-sized bag.

The back area at Mama's on Berry was closed today. Maybe they were going to meet back there after the lunch buffet rush.

You left off players who were drafted and seriously injured numerous people while speeding.
