Its amazing how those can change ones opinion of an HC. Despite the tarnished reputation, Im 1000% more optimistic about next season now that K Briles has been named as OC than I was before. That said, I think Dykes is going to do very well at SMU. He's taking over a rising program and isnt starting out in the basement like Morris.

Like you, I have not been high on Applewhite or Dykes, but after seeing who they are adding to staff I am actually optimistic

Some of the reason I think you'll be OK with Dykes is we played LaTech a couple of times when Dykes was their coach. He can coach offense. If he can get a quality DC---SMU will be in good shape.

That was Tony Franklin, everyone knew the brains of the operation and it was Franklin.

He followed Dykes to Cal, Cal went 8-5 in 2015; Franklin leaves in 2016, Cal goes 5-7 and Dykes gets canned.

Yeah. Losing record breaking 3-year starting QB and #1 NFL draft pick Jared Golf probably had nothing to do with the drop off.

Who do you think help develop Goff?

"I'd like to thank Coach Franklin for the significant impact he's made on my life from a football aspect and the overall life lessons he has taught me. I have never had a coach change my outlook on life more than he has in these past 3 years. He has taught me so much about myself and guided me in the process of being a Division 1 quarterback week in and week out. I would not be anywhere close to where I am now without him." - JARED GOFF

Same guy who was there when he won one game. It takes time to develop a QB. I think Franklin is a good coach and never said he wasnt. But you almost never go from a 3 year starter and #1 NFL draft pick QB to a first year newbie QB without it having an affect on team performance. I mean--Cal only won 8 games WITH Goff. Besides, Middle Tenn went from 8th (in 2016) in total offense to #71 this year. Franklin was the OC both years. Probably something similar happened there.

Frankly, I think the biggest issue for the staff in Cali was they were out of their recruiting element. I think Dykes will do very well back in Texas at SMU.
