TCU has made an addition to its offensive staff as of Saturday, with the hiring of Arizona State’s offensive line coach Chris Thomsen. His name should ring a bell to older Frogs, as Thomsen was an All-American for TCU from 1988-90. Thomsen, a two-sport athlete (football and baseball), was drafted into the Oakland A’s organization for two years, before finishing his football career at Abilene Christian.
Thomsen has spent the last four seasons as the offensive line coach at Arizona State. Prior to that, he spent one year at Texas Tech, as the OL coach, and interim head coach after Tommy Tuberville bolted for Cincinnati.
