Kate Dykes is the granddaughter and daughter of Texas high school football coaches, an alumna of Texas Tech University, mother of three and wife to Sonny Dykes, head coach of TCU's football team. Kate talks about navigating Sonny's firing from Cal in 2017 and how it ultimately set them on the path to head coaching jobs back in their home state of Texas. She also discusses the transition from SMU — where Sonny was head coach from 2018-2021 — to TCU, as the universities are located just 40 miles apart.<a href="https://youtu.be/YNvwf5mVuuI">Video of Episode 3 with Kate Dykes</a> can be viewed on YouTube.<a href="https://beyond-gameday.simplecast.com/episodes/kate-dykes/transcript">Click to read the full transcript</a> of this episode.Follow Beyond Gameday!  Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/beyondgameday/">@BeyondGameday</a> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/BeyondGameday">@BeyondGameday</a> YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo-BjEA2lvHrod7go5PSqyQ/videos">Beyond Gameday</a> Email: <a href="mailto:team@beyondgameday.com">team@beyondgameday.com</a>
