Sonny Dykes?

[BaltoBull]

So, I've gone from wanting Cristobal to Taggart and I admit, after reading this Voodoo Five article, I'm pretty close to being sold on Sonny Dykes and the whole Air Raid scheme.

What do you guys think? Would Wollard give Dykes a chance?

I really am excited about the idea of USF doing something completely different than the big boys and I wonder if his scheme were to be executed properly, wether we could steamroll the NBE in a couple of years.

I like and hate the idea of Dykes at the same time. Maybe over time, if he were successful, he'd have a recruiting advantage in Florida, but he's not there yet. He doesn't currently aggressively recruit the state and would need time to establish the relationships and target his players. I like Dykes, but like some of the candidates, I think he would need some strong assistants with FL toes to be successful here. We took a successful coach with no FL ties and saw how that worked out.

I would love that! He would need a staff of guys with local recruiting ties though

Dykes has Texas ties however

Dykes comes in, shows AW some tape of his QBs going ******* crazy throwing the ball, AW rerecommits. Recruiting back on track. If he even 50% delivers on his Air Raid with AW at the helm, WR recruiting is going to take care of itself in this state. Once his offense is established and we win some fun games and get a little buzz going (like the good old days), Dykes can turn his attention to the defense.

Doesn't seem to stop Cal from making him an offer.

More like would Dykes give USF a chance. He is highly sought after right now.

I can see why. It would take a lot of balls on Wollard's part to put up the money and commit to something different. I'm not sure we could win a bidding war with other schools, but if we gave him a good enough rea$on to come here, maybe he would.

I understand other's desire to get McGee and Taggart - I have them on my wishlist as well.

I really want to see what Dykes could do here if given the chance though.

I meant that as a good thing

Yeah, but when is the last time USF budgeted and got players with any consistency outside of FL or GA. I mean a guy that recruits TX would have some ties, but what do you sell a kid on from TX to go to USF?
