Dykes takes over at La. Tech

Louisiana Tech has tapped Arizona Wildcats offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes to replace Derek Dooley as head football coach.

Dykes, who was introduced Wednesday, has coached in college for 15 years and has been with Arizona since 2007, serving as both offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He has never been a college head coach.

Last Friday, Dooley left to replace Lane Kiffin at Tennessee.

Dykes, son of Texas Tech coaching legend Spike Dykes, is known as a spread offense specialist and figures to bring the same wide-open style to Louisiana Tech.
