Sonny Dykes joined,"The Tim Fletcher Show," Tuesday morning and revealed just how close he came to leaving Louisiana Tech after the 2011 season.  Dykes also talked about a discussion with Boise State coach, Chris Peterson, in which the Broncos coach told Dykes about the grass not always being greener on the other side.

Of course, in Boise, the grass is blue and plastic, for what it's worth. 

The roots placed in Ruston by Dykes and his family have taken hold for now, which could result in Louisiana Tech gaining a reputation as a coaching destination, as opposed to coaching weigh station.
