    Looking back, the Dykes regime hasn't impressed me quite as much as it apparently did some of you. I jokingly said before the 2012 season started that Dawg80 could coach this Tech team to 8 or 9 wins. And looking back, he probably really could have.

    Coming into the 2012 season, we all had 3 reasonable expectations from Sonny Dykes:

    1) A WAC title (in a very watered down conference for 2012)
    2) A Bowl victory
    3) A 12-0 or 11-1 record. Or, at worst a double digit win season.

    As you now know, Dykes FAILED in all three categories. And it wasn't even close! He was very lucky to get to 9 wins with a schedule that was deeply watered down in 2012.

    Yes, Dykes sponsored a very fun (to watch) offense. But we KNEW THAT about him in advance. That's what he was selling. What we didn't know in 2010 was just how terrible he was on defense. Finishing this season ranked #120 in defense speaks volumes.

    We CAN do better. I said so in 2010, and it's still true today. In the end, HD was right. :icon_wink:

    BS! The Dawgs would have had a minimum of 10 wins, and probably 11 with me at the helm! I would NOT have tolerated that crappy defense and would have made changes. That would have gotten us a couple more W's. I guarantee it.

    But, yep, HD, I agree, we can do better with a HC.

    just think DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    D80 is already hardcore def. .... it'd be " Steel Curtain the Sequel ", .... wouldn't want him to neglect taking it to the yanks.

    Re: Sonny Dykes?

    One of funnier posts ever--WOW-- lets see--WAC champion season 2-recruited Patton-White-Scotty young and more 3 star recruits to come to Tech than all coaches combines. Silly me-- forgot Dixon--oh yeah--led nation in scoring and put us back on map. Lost to 3 top 20 teams and took AM to wire. Gave your namesake ( hunter) a walkon shot and he earned scholarship. We have a boatload of talent ready to play offense next few years. I have know problems admiting my bad calls but this is pretty silly -- 2012 ranks as one of 2 greatest years in Tech history-- and plenty to look forward to.

    Interesting as to whom he might be looking at for DC. He's seen these guys before, for sure.
