TCU football staff brings Arizona State assistant back home

Chris Thomsen, who served as offensive line coach at Arizona State for the past four seasons, is leaving the desert and going to TCU to join the staff of football coach Gary Patterson.

The Arizona Republic reported that Thomsen is returning to his alma mater, where he played football and baseball, for an as yet undetermined role with the Horned Frogs.

TCU co-offensive coordinator Doug Meacham left last week for a position with Kansas.

Before joining Arizona State, Thomsen was head coach at Abilene Christian from 2005-11. His teams won two Lone Star Conference championships and reached the postseason in six of seven seasons.
