I don't think Dykes has actually moved up the coaching ranks. TCU is not a hugely better job than Cal, and him putting up decent records at SMU is not much different from what he did at Louisiana Tech. IMO he's been hovering at about the same level for his entire head coaching career.
If he starts beating top-level Big 12 teams at TCU then I'll say he's moved up.

Correct. Dykes wants to be near family in Texas, which is fine; others have said the same about Wilcox. But, the LaTech/Cal/SMU/TCU rank is about as high as he can get. IMHO, Dykes hasn't figured out what to do after a punt, and the O trots off the field. One can only wonder what Dykes-Goff would have done if Wilcox was the DC: Sunny never saw a 4th and 20 he didn't love to take a crack at... so, if he starts beating Baylor, OkSt, Oklahoma, then: Agreed: He's moved up. #airraid
I wouldn't say that. Some Power 5 programs are more prestigious than others and would be considered a step up for a head coach. If Wilcox was hired by Oregon that would be a step up.

I'd say that's about the same as him going from LaTech to Cal. He's basically returned to where he was.
