Profile
Sonny Dykes was named TCU head coach on Nov. 30, 2021 and amassed 36 wins in his first four seasons, the most by a TCU head coach since 1929-32. Dykes led TCU to the 2022 College Football Playoff and the program’s first CFP National Championship game appearance in school history while winning 10 National Coach of the Year awards that season. His 2023 and 2024 teams posted consecutive nine-win seasons and his staff produced 13 NFL Draft selections during his tenure, including a program-record eight picks in 2023.
Coaching Approach
Offensive innovation and high-scoring attacks with transfer-portal and Texas recruiting emphasis: Dykes’ 2022 Horned Frogs tied for the national lead with six wins over ranked opponents and featured Max Duggan (Davey O’Brien, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award) and consensus All-American Steve Avila as offensive anchors; his Louisiana Tech 2012 unit led the nation in scoring (51.5 ppg) and total offense (577.9 ypg).
