FORT WORTH, Texas — It took decades but the best football player in SMU's history is in a good place with his alma mater, as evidenced by Eric Dickerson's feelings about the Mustangs' previous football coach leaving for a rival across town.
"I'll say this, I don't know coach [Sonny] Dykes well, but to me that shows a lot about the character of a person," Dickerson said in a phone interview this week when asked about Dykes' leaving SMU to accept the TCU head coaching job.
Dickerson, 61, has a new book out, Watch My Smoke, in which he does not hold back on any topic, from his infamous days at SMU to his time with the Los Angeles Rams and Indianapolis Colts.
