MEMPHIS — SMU head coach Sonny Dykes was asked after a 28-25 loss to Memphis if reports of his potential departure are starting to affect the team’s performance.
His answer, in short, was no.
“I don’t care about that stuff,” Dykes said. “I promise you there is not one person in that locker room that has thought one second about that or had it affect their performance or my performance or anybody else’s. To insinuate that is reflective of who insinuated that.”
Dykes’ name has been linked to Texas Tech, TCU and Virginia Tech. However, since those reports have surfaced, SMU has lost two-straight games and fallen out of contention for the American Athletic Conference championship.
