TCU Head Coach has led the Horned Frogs to the College Football Playoff
BRISTOL, Conn. -- TCU Head Football Coach Sonny Dykes has been named ESPN's Home Depot National Coach of the Year.
It's the third National Coach of the Year award for Dykes this season, also receiving the honor from Walter Camp and CBSSports.com.
In his first season at TCU, Dykes has led the Horned Frogs to their first College Football Playoff appearance. Picked to finish seventh in the Big 12, TCU was No. 3 in the final CFP rankings and just the second team to be in the CFP after starting the season unranked.
Dykes is only the third head coach in the CFP era to guide his team to the playoff in his first season at the helm. The unanimous Big 12 Coach of the Year, Dykes became the first head football coach in TCU and Big 12 history to start 12-0 in his first season. He's just the fourth head coach nationally since 1996 to accomplish the feat.
TCU was the first Big 12 team to complete the regular season with a 12-0 record since Texas in 2009 and the first league member to go 9-0 in conference play since Oklahoma in 2016. TCU's five wins over ranked opponents ties for the national lead this season.
