Report: SMU Football Coach Sonny Dykes to Be Named TCU Coach

After weeks of rumors and coaching interviews, SMU coach Sonny Dykes will reportedly become TCU's next football coach, according to 247Sports.

Dykes, who has led the Mustangs to three consecutive bowl-eligible seasons, will coach SMU on Saturday against Tulsa. According to ESPN's Ian Fitzsimmons, SMU offered him a package up to $4 million to remain with the program but TCU brought "significantly more" to the table.

Chris Hummer of 247Sports also reported that Dykes plans to hold interviews with current TCU coaches on Sunday. SMU will likely hire current Miami offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee as its next coach and has spoken with coaches around the country for his potential staff, according to Hummer.
