As we’ve reported on @SMU247 this week, #SMU has had a contract extension offer in front of Sonny Dykes, almost doubling his $2M salary with a large pool for assistants and a new Football Operations Building on the way.

They are trying to “pony up” a lot of incentives. Apparently hasn’t signed yet.

Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
I think we would all welcome a football ops announcement and increased salary pool for assistants

To be clear I wish we were doing that too. The hashtags were just me being glib.

We deserve so much better
Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
I agree. I just posted on the main board that we would be 8th in the new CUSAAC based on current SP+. Laugh all we want, but schools above and below us are doing things to advance while we stay stuck in neutral.wavedom wrote: ↑Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:40 pmPete I knew you were.

Dykes might already be preparing his next team. SMU trails 21-10 at Memphis with 2:30 left in the 3rd

Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
I've honestly not paid too much attention to SMU over the past few years but it seems like many years they start out undefeated or "(large number) and 1" with the one loss being a power P5 program very early... They get ranked... Then they lose an AAC game unexpectedly and after that they just collapse into mediocrity. Almost like they completely deflate after their first conference loss. I could be imagining that but it feels like that's happened more than once with them.
Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
That makes 2 of us. Maybe we are imagining it but they always drop in the rankings late.PeteRasche wrote: ↑Sat Nov 06, 2021 2:00 pm I've honestly not paid too much attention to SMU over the past few years but it seems like many years they start out undefeated or "(large number) and 1" with the one loss being a power P5 program very early...

Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
Losing to Cincinnati near halftime 27-0 so seems likely they will fall to 8-3 after starting 7-0.

Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
If we played them next week, I’d really like our chances.

Re: SMU trying to extend Dykes contract
Some chatter about Dykes and TCU this week. He could use a ninth win.

I already came across an article speculating on his successor at SMU as he's "expected" to go to TCU.long green wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 10:08 am Some chatter about Dykes and TCU this week. He could use a ninth win.
