Sonny Dykes' Homecoming: His alma mater, his father's legacy and his formative coaching years
Spike Dykes is a 2001 Texas Tech Red Raiders Hall of Fame inductee for his head coaching career. His son, TCU Horned Frogs head coach Sonny Dykes, helped transform the program in a different image as a wide receivers coach under Mike Leach from 2000-06.
Sonny Dykes refuses to let himself reflect until after TCU's Thursday night clash with Texas Tech ends. Once the Jones AT&T Stadiums lights flicker off and the Red Raider faithful file out, Dykes will then think about what returning to Texas Tech as a head coach signified for his family, forever intertwined with the school.
Sonny's history with Tech began as a high schooler in 1986 when his father was elevated from the team's defensive coordinator to head coach.
