I wasnβt surprisedΒ Sonny DykesΒ wasnβt a good fit and, ultimately, fired as Calβs football coach. Dykes is a Texan and he couldnβt resist the opportunity to interview for the Baylor job last month. The AD who hired Dykes is no longer on staff, and, much like RichRod, Dykes made some coaching staff mistakes. If you coach at Cal, your lifestyle changes because you spend so much time driving traffic-clogged freeways. Getting to the Cal campus from anywhere is a challenge. The freeway lifestyle is among the reasons former Arizona associate ADΒ Bob BockrathΒ left as Calβs athletic director to take a similar job at Texas Tech a few years ago.Β
No surprise Cal parted ways with Sonny Dykes
