More than a month after completing his third losing seasons in four years, Sonny Dykes is out at Cal.
Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports and ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach reported the move Sunday, with Dykes closing his tenure with a 19-30 record. The Bears went 5-7 in 2016 but finished their season with an impressive 36-10 win over UCLA.
While the program hasn't produced elite results, there were no rumors of a potential Dykes departure during the season. In fact, he was considered a buzz-worthy candidate for other openings. Schlabach reported Baylor was interested in pursuing Dykes, although the program ultimately hired Matt Rhule.
