COLUMN: If Sonny Dykes wants another crack at a Power Five job, he should leave SMU at the end of the season

UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Sonny Dykes may already have one foot in Dallas and another Lubbock these days.

And who can really blame him? It’s where his father became a legend. It’s where he went to high school. It’s also he coached as a young man nearly 20 years ago.

But I’m not here to tell you that Dykes should take the Texas Tech job. It’s been well documented the perils of taking your career to Lubbock. Following family is difficult.

Instead, what I am here to tell you, if Dykes really does have one foot out the door in Dallas, is he’s right about one thing: He should leave SMU at the end of this season.
