So not only will Dykes end up with another head coaching job less than a year after being fired at California, but he also get the unenviable task of preparing a team for a bowl game in eight days time. He has to get the team ready for the bowl game against Louisiana Tech, but he has to bring in a staff, become familiar with his players and implement whatever system he plans on using all in basically a week.
