Maybe so.
Does SMU want to be more than a "Mid Major" in football again? The MWC and American can afford to pay that kind of money, but they can't afford (or will not pay enough) to keep a coach if another Cal or Tennessee comes calling.

Uppity SMU always wants the sun, moon and stars as we should as well. For you Louisiana folks that don't know better, SMU alumni and supporters are just true stuffy elitist with way more old $$ and cash in general than us.

Yes we know. There's not enough money in the world that will buy SMU a P5 spot or hang on to Dykes if P5 wants him

I wasn't impressed with them against Tulsa...of course, that's classic SD. Play to the level of the competition. Get down early, then storm back. OR, get up big early and then let the other team storm back.

Nevertheless, he is 6-0.

When SD "took over" SMU just before the 2017 Frisco Bowl and then the Dawgs dealt that disorganized bunch a sound whipping, Oh man! The "Holtz walks on water" crowd had a field day with our former coach. A few of us knew a day of reckoning was coming, even as we enjoyed the 51-10 game.
I don't think the 2019 SMU Mustangs are particularly good. Well, not "very good" anyway. But, "good", yeah. Point is Dykes is 6-0 and has them ranked. They don't have a particularly "killer" schedule. Their OOC was Arkie State, UNT, Texas State, and TCU. They ran the table, 4-0. I think Holtz would have (should have) been no worse than 3-1 vs. that slate. SMU has a tough test coming up vs. Temple, and they also go to Memphis and Navy later on. Tulane might offer a fair challenge to close out the season. Overall SMU's 2019 schedule is tougher than ours.
Point is, SD has lifted lowly SMU out of the gutter and made them an exciting, ranked team, in less than 2 years. Meanwhile we are told to sit down, shut up, don't be so NEGATIVE! and accept our mediocrity happily!

Sonny is doing a good job, but it's not like he inherited a dumpster fire. He inherited a bowl team who's coach had just been hired away by a SEC program.

I didn't realize until now that the Dallas based SERVPRO First Responders Bowl had been moved to SMU's stadium from the Cotton Bowl.

Re: 2019 Louisiana Tech Football Schedule
Just saw that the UTSA game is the Saturday after Thanksgiving so no turnout expected with students gone.

That just leaves more seats for local fans to come out and see history be made when the 10-1 Bulldogs donkey stomp UTSA to go to 11-1.
