UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Sonny Dykes has been down this road before.
Multiple times, in fact, has SMU’s head football coach been involved in coaching reports that have Dykes leaving for Power Five schools.
Last winter, the reports linked Dykes to Tennessee’s job opening.
This week, the reports have centered on Dykes’ candidacy for Texas Tech, a place where Dykes’ father coached and where Dykes himself was an offensive coordinator for six years.
But even as the rumors of Dykes’ departure from SMU have become more commonplace, this latest linkage between Dykes and the Red Raiders is taking on a different feel than times past.
