"I'm told Sonny Dykes is expected to be a target if Virginia Tech pulls the plug on Justin Fuente whose on one of the hottest seats in the country right now," Feldman said on Big Noon Kickoff. "Fuente is 3-4 also, has very frosty with some key people inside Virginia Tech. One other job that could potentially come open in Dykes' native state of Texas. ... I was told this week by some sources close to the situation at TCU, that this could be Gary Patterson's last year as the head coach of the Horned Frogs."

Even though VT is viewed as a top 25 college coaching job I wonder if it a big enough jump? Miami will be opening up and I wonder if that might be more enticing. Quality of life and a top 15 ranking among best college coaching jobs.

I hate to say it...but if I'm Sonny Dykes, I'm thinking, "I've got a great thing going at SMU.  It's going to take something greater than great to get me to leave."  I wouldn't leave what he's built and what he's going on to do at SMU for Virginia Tech.

Fox Sports also reported the same. Also mentioned "insider" reports that Patterson might step down at TCU after the season and Dykes would be the top on their list. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants to SMU

I was thinking the same thing. They would absolutely go crazy on the "Hilltop"

With no state income tax and a ton of credibility in the state for recruiting.  Unless he is trying to get in the radar for a NFL job no way I am going to a job in the Mid Atlantic part of the country.  But staying in Texas and taking a P5 job would be very tempting even it is small private TCU.  
 

For VT if I were Sonny I tell my agent something crazy like, the salary discussion bottom starts at 6 million my 4 top assistants get 1 million plus Else we have nothing to discuss.

But selfishly I hope he leaves and takes Seth with him somewhere.  😂
