FRISCO -- Sometimes, the past harmonizes. When Sonny Dykes makes his debut as SMU's new head coach on Wednesday in the Frisco Bowl, his past, present and future will collide on the Toyota Stadium grass.
SMU will play Louisiana Tech, where Dykes got his first head coaching job. The significance of this full-circle moment is not lost on him.
"It's a lot of irony playing those guys the first time," Dykes said at Tuesday's joint press conference with his successor at Tech, Skip Holtz.
It's been five years since Dykes was the head coach at Louisiana Tech.
