University of California - Berkeley Men's Football

Dykes program has become one of Cals most active in the community. Dykes' success both on and off the field earned him a  that he agreed to on December 10, 2015. Cal's eight wins in the Golden Bears third season under Dykes in 2015 in his 21st campaign as a collegiate football coach marked the schools most victories since 2009. Cal capped the season with a win over Air Force at the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl with the bowl victory its first postseason win since 2008 in its first bowl appearance since 2011. Only 17 squads since the beginning of Cal football in 1882-83 have won more game than the Bears did in 2015. In addition to serving as the head coach, Dykes coached Cals outside receivers for the first time after working with the same position group for nearly a decade in previous coaching stops and is planning to do so again in 2016. Dykes was named to the midseason watch list for the 2015 Dodd Trophy for the Bears success with the 20 head coaches on the list selected for representing programs with the highest ideals of leadership, scholarship and integrity on and off the field. Cal began the 2015 season with five straight victories to mark the programs best start since the Bears were also 5-0 in 2007 before dropping four of their next five games to teams that were all ranked in the top 10 at some point in 2015 including top-five foes Oregon and Utah, with four of those five contests on the road. At one point, the Bears were in the national rankings for four consecutive weeks (Weeks 4-7) moving as high as No. 19 in the Amway Coaches Poll and No. 20 in the AP Top 25 in Week 7. Cals national rankings were its first since 2010 (Coaches Poll) and 2009 (AP Top 25). But Cal finished strong with three wins in its final four contests over Oregon State, Arizona State and Air Force. The Bears secured their first winning season since 2011 with a dramatic 48-46 victory in the regular-season finale against Arizona State when the Bears rallied from 21 points down for a victory for the first time since 2007 won on the final play of the game. Two weeks earlier, Cal secured bowl eligibility with its sixth victory of the season over Oregon State. Cal's offense flourished again in 2015, setting numerous records including single-season school marks in passing yardage (4,892), passing yards per game (376.3 ypg), passing touchdowns (44), total offense (6,879), total yards per game (529.2 ypg), total touchdowns (63), points (493), modern-era record), first downs (341) and first downs passing (201), with all the marks previously set in 2013 or 2014. Cal ranked third nationally in passing offense, eighth in total offense and 17th in scoring offense in 2015, with all of the numbers second in the Pac-12. Cal also set single-game team records in 2015 with 760 yards of total offense and 36 first downs vs. Oregon State, while tying a modern-era school record with 10 extra-point attempts against Grambling State. Quarterback  set 26 school records during his three seasons and started all 37 of Cals games at quarterback from 2013-15 including career marks for passing yardage (12,220), touchdown passes (96), total offense (12,086) and completions (977). He also finished his Cal career second on the schools all-time list for passing efficiency (143.95) behind only Aaron Rodgers. He ranks third all-time in Pac-12 history in passing yardage and fourth in passing touchdowns, while he is 26th nationally in passing yards and 27th in passing touchdowns. In his final campaign at Cal as a 2015 junior before foregoing his final season of collegiate eligibility to declare for the 2016 NFL Draft, Goff broke a pair of Pac-12 single-season records when he passed for 4,719 yards and 43 touchdowns. Goff led the Pac-12 and ranked third in the nation as a junior in both passing touchdowns and passing yards. He was also second both nationally and in the conference in passing yards per game (363.0) among 10 categories in which he ranked among the top three in the conference and top 20 nationally. Goff was the first Cal quarterback to earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors since Rodgers in 2004, a semifinalist for the Davey OBrien National Quarterback Award and Cals Most Outstanding Player in a Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl victory over Air Force when he set the bowls single-game records by passing for 467 yards and six touchdowns in his final collegiate contest. He was ranked as high as No. 3 on the USA Today Heisman Hot List and tied for No. 6 on ESPNs Heisman Watch after the teams 5-0 start. Cal was the only team in the nation to have six receivers with 40 or more catches in 2015   (52-658, 13 TD),  (47-560, 8 TD),  (45-956, 7 TD),  (41-474, 2 TD),  (40-672, 2 TD) and  (40-558, 6 TD). The Bears also had three 500-yard rushers   (87-586, 1 TD),  (106-505, 8 TD) and  (89-504, 3 TD) to become the first college football team in recorded history to have six players with 40 or more receptions and three 500-yard rushers in the same season. Cal also made tremendous improvements on defense in 2015 especially in the turnover numbers, tying for 11th in the nation in fumbles recovered (12), tying for 13th in turnovers gained (27) and tying for 23rd in interceptions (15). Cal was also tied for 25th nationally in defensive touchdowns with three. Cal tied for the Pac-12 lead in fumbles recovered while ranking tied for second in turnovers gained and interceptions. Cal's 2015 season was followed by a strong offseason that included Goff becoming only the second player in Cal history to be selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft in April of 2016 as well as the additions of standout offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach , senior graduate transfer quarterback Davis Webb from Texas Tech and the nation's top-ranked receiver in the 2016 recruiting class in five-star wide receiver Demetris Robertson. There was already a tremendous amount of optimism at Cal heading into the 2015 season after the Bears four-win improvement in 2014 that was the best turnaround for the program since 2002 and left the Bears one victory shy of playing in its first bowl game since 2011. Cal finished the 2014 season with a 5-7 overall record and a 3-6 mark in conference action to place fourth in the Pac-12 North for its highest showing since the 2011 team was also fourth. Cal won four of its first five games beginning with back-to-back victories at Northwestern and against Sacramento State. After a heartbreaking loss on a Hail Mary on the final play of the game in its Pac-12 opener at Arizona, the Bears recovered by scoring a combined 119 points in back-to-back thrilling and record-setting victories over Colorado (in double overtime) and at Washington State. Cals 4-1 start and a 2-1 Pac-12 record put the Bears in first place (Pac-12 North) three games into the league schedule for the first time since 2006. Cal picked up its fifth and final win of the campaign at Oregon State. The Bears set or equaled nine single-season school or modern-era school records on the offensive side of the ball in 2014. Cal established single-season records for passing yards (4,152), passing touchdowns (37), total yards per game (495.2 ypg) and first downs passing (188), as well modern-era school records for points (459), scoring average (38.2 ppg) and touchdowns (61) that were all that were broken in 2015 and now rank third all-time also behind the 1920 team (510 points, 56.7 ppg, 72 touchdowns). Cal also tied modern-era records for PAT (56) and PAT attempts (57). In addition, the Bears became the first Cal team in the modern era to score 55 or more points in a game three times including 40 or more on five occasions and 30 or more 10 times. Cal ranked in the top 25 nationally in a total of seven offensive categories in 2014 including passing offense (6th, 346.0 ypg), scoring offense (10th, 38.3 ppg), total offense (13th, 495.2 ypg), fourth-down conversion percentage (14th, 67.9%, 19-28), first downs offense (19th, 319), third-down conversions (23rd, 46.1%) and team passing efficiency (24th, 145.77). Goff set 15 single-season, single-game or single-play school records in 2014 that were broken in 2015 including passing yards (3,973), passing touchdowns (35), touchdowns responsible for (35), total offense (3,929) and 300-yard passing games (7), while his consecutive 300-yard passing games (6) and most consecutive passes without an interception (185) marks from 2014 remain school records. Goff completed 316-of-509 passes (62.1%) with seven interceptions for a 147.59 passer efficiency rating that was the fifth-best single-season mark in school history. Goff also ranked among the nations top 10 in six individual categories in 2014 including passing touchdowns (5th), passing yards (5th), passing yards per game (5th, 331.1 ypg), completions per game (5th, 26.33 cpg), total offense (8th, 327.4 ypg) and points responsible for per game (9th, 18.0 ppg). Cal was able to achieve all of this in 2014 with 42 players seeing action for the first time in their Cal career including 23 freshmen with 11 of those true freshmen. The Bears also used 19 other players for the first time in their Cal career. Despite being an inexperienced unit that was the nations second-youngest to start the season and battling injuries that caused players on the preseason depth chart to miss 138 games, Cal still set school records in 2013 for single-season passing yards (3,977), pass completions (368) and total plays (1,046), with the passing yards mark being broken in 2014. The passing offense finished third in the Pac-12 and 10th in the nation with an average of 331.4 yards per game that was also the best in school history before being surpassed in both 2014 and 2015. Cals 5,443 yards of total offense in 2013 is the fifth-highest total in school history and its average of 453.6 yards per game ranks sixth. As a true freshman in 2013, Goff started all 12 games and became the first true freshman quarterback in school history to start a season-opener. Goff set school records in passing yardage (3,508), total offense (3,446), completions (320), pass attempts (531) and total plays (590) in his first season as the Bears signal caller before later breaking passing yardage, total offense and completion marks. In his final season as a junior at Cal in 2015 before foregoing his final season of collegiate eligibility to declare for the 2016 NFL Draft, Lawler became the school's first wide receiver to earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors since Keenan Allen in 2011. He recorded a career-high 13 touchdown catches to lead the team while ranking second in the Pac-12 and tied for eighth nationally. The 13 touchdown grabs also ranked tied for second on Cals all-time single-season list behind only the school-record 14 registered by Sean Dawkins in 1992. Lawler finished with 52 receptions as a junior to lead the squad for the second straight season and totaled 658 yards receiving, while finishing his career tied for second on Cals all-time list touchdown receptions and tied for 12th in the Pac-12 with 27 scoring grabs among 143 catches for 1,706 yards receiving over 35 games and 19 starts.

Treggs finished his career fourth all-time at Cal with 195 receptions, fifth with 2,506 yards receiving and 10th with 15 touchdown catches after catching 45 passes for a career-high 956 yards to go with a career-best seven touchdown receptions in 2015. Treggs had at least one reception in 45 of the 46 games he played in at Cal including each of the last 39 to fall three short of Robert Jordans school-record 42.   "Coach Dykes helped me a lot in my three years at Cal both on and off the field. He was always asking myself and the other captains what was best for the team and really truly cared about every one of us. I wouldn't be where I am today without Coach Dykes. A big thing for me about Sonny is that he is family-oriented. He brings his family around and has the other coaches do the same. It makes everyone more comfortable.  Coach Dykes is a players coach. He always has our best interests at heart. Its not all about football. He cares about us off field as well. He wants us to succeed in life and always asks me how my wife and daughter are doing, and if there is anything they can do to help us out. I appreciate that and it shows me he cares.  Coach Dykes is a coach that motivates you to push yourself to make you a better man both on and off the field.  Dykes came to Cal after spending three seasons at Louisiana Tech where he directed an offense that led the nation in both scoring offense (51.50 ppg) and total offense (577.92 ypg) during his final campaign at the helm in 2012. He spent three seasons as head coach for the Bulldogs, compiling a 22-15 overall record and winning 16 of 17 regular-season games during one stretch over the 2011 and 2012 schedules. During his tenure at Louisiana Tech, Dykes also engineered a turnaround for a program that improved all three seasons under his leadership as his Cal's teams have also done. The Bulldogs were 4-8 the year before he arrived in 2009, then proceeded to finish 5-7, 8-5 and 9-3 in successive campaigns. In 2011, Louisiana Tech started 1-4 before winning seven consecutive games to capture the Western Athletic Conference title the teams first league championship in a decade and a berth in the Poinsettia Bowl. Dykes was named the WAC Coach of the Year. Dykes' 2012 Louisiana Tech team had road victories over FBS opponents Illinois (52-24), Houston (56-49) and Virginia (44-28). The Bulldogs also lost a narrow 59-57 decision to a Texas A&M team that later defeated top-ranked Alabama and earned a spot in the Cotton Bowl. Louisiana Tech reached as high as No. 18 in the national polls according to USA Today and was No. 19 in the AP Top 25 after jumping out to a 9-1 start. Dykes high-energy style of offense produced a prolific unit that in addition to leading the nation in both scoring offense and total offense in 2012 produced the fifth-highest per-game scoring average ever by a team in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). The squad also finished among the NCAAs top 20 in passing offense (3rd, 350.75 ypg), sacks allowed (7th, 0.83 per game), turnover margin (10th, +1.08 per game) and rushing offense (17th, 227.17 ypg). The Bulldogs scored more than 40 points in 11 of 12 games and over 50 points on eight occasions. Quarterback Colby Cameron was named the 2012 WAC Offensive Player of the Year and earned the Sammy Baugh Award presented to college footballs top passer by The Touchdown Club of Columbus.  Dykes, the son of former longtime Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, boasts a resume that includes additional stops in the Pac-12, Big 12 and SEC, where he served under head coaches Mike Stoops (Arizona), Mike Leach (Texas Tech) and Hal Mumme (Kentucky). As offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Arizona for three seasons from 2007-09, Dykes helped the Wildcats to the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl and 2009 Holiday Bowl after Arizona had not reached the postseason for 10 years. Arizona posted marks of 8-5 both seasons and tied for second in what was then the Pac-10 in 2009 with a 6-3 league mark. Under his direction, Arizona offenses established five single-season records. The Wildcats ranked 10th nationally in passing yards in 2007 (308.50 ypg), as well as 16th in scoring (36.62 ppg) and 33rd in total offense in 2008 (402.38 ypg). Prior to his tenure at Arizona, Dykes spent seven seasons at his alma mater Texas Tech, serving as receivers coach from 2000-04 and adding the title of co-offensive coordinator from 2005-06. The Red Raiders made seven straight postseason appearances and won 56 games during the span, including four postseason victories over his last five seasons in the Tangerine, Houston, Holiday and Insight bowls. In 2006, Dykes received the Mike Campbell Top Assistant Coach Award from the American Football Coaches Association, the same year he was recognized as one of the top 25 recruiters in the country by Rivals. Dykes began his collegiate coaching career with a two-year stint from 1995-96 at Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. He also was a baseball assistant at Monahans High School in Texas in 1994 and a football assistant at Pearce High School outside Dallas in 1995. Born in Big Springs, Texas, Dykes received his bachelors degree in history from Texas Tech in 1993 and was a member of the Red Raider baseball team for two seasons.
