On the heels of a 6-7 season that ended with sluggish performances in losses to Oklahoma State and Kansas State -- boxed around a win over Texas and a bowl loss to Georgia -- TCU underwent a series of offensive coaching staff changes. Doug Meacham, the Horned Frogs’ co-offensive coordinator and playcaller, left for Kansas in a surprise move.
TCU hired former Cal coach Sonny Dykes as an offensive analyst, and Chris Thomsen returned from Arizona State to his alma mater to coach the offensive line.
