He wasn’t great at Cal but that was a bad cultural fit. He did well at LA Tech and is a much better fit for a Texas school. He’s a good offensive coach and it’s not like Morris was knocking it out of the park. I think Dykes would be fine at SMU on the field. He seems like a pain in the rear end to deal with though, so that’s a potential issue. He’s also very likely to be a candidate for Texas Tech as early as next year if he does well so it might not be a long stay.

Got his first HC gig at Louisiana Tech and went 22-15. Eventually wound up at Cal in what SHOULD have been a good fit but the school was being hit hard with budget issues and Dykes clearly haaaaaaaaaaated being there. As far as SMU goes it's a solid hire. He's a Texas native and drat near any Texas school is going to be a far better fit for him than somewhere out west.

For SMU I think Dykes is a quality hire. He is a tenured enough coach to know what he's doing, be able to hire some decent assistants, and he's from a similar background as Morris (not the same I'm aware) but the players should be able to pick up what he wants to do quickly. I thought he was p okay at Cal just couldn't get the D figured out which may be less of an issue in CUSA maybe or maybe worse I dunno. Either way SMU did okay imo. Plus he's been in Dallas/Ft Worth for the past year with Gary at TCU so he should have a firm grasp on the recruiting landscape.

Looks like an exciting hire on paper based on what Memphis has done offensively since he's been there, but since he's been an assistant under two offense-minded head coaches I guess it's hard to say what he's going to be worth on his own. Seconding that Dykes seems like a solid hire for SMU.

Mizzou sources are saying Hugh Freeze is basically being PNG'd by the league office, so the school is crossing him off the list of OC candidates. He will probably be an OC next year but it won't be in this league. The most logical choice is Harrell, which means we'll probably hire someone I haven't heard of. Also our OL coach Glen Elarbee followed ex-OC Josh Heupel to UCF--for the same job. Not even an assistant title add-on. That seems weird but if something went down then no one is talking.

Yeah, well, Kim Anderson. I like how Weis was hired entirely based off his years with the Chiefs and the AD conveniently ignored those Florida years. Guys, I'm not sure Kansas is better than Rutgers. I'm fairly certain they aren't. Probably Magic fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Dec 12, 2017 |

It’s been a good few years for Brewster. He found his level as an excellent assistant coach and Minnesota paid tribute to him by hiring a younger version.
