FILE - TCU head coach Sonny Dykes walks off the field after an NCAA college football game against Iowa State in Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday, Nov. 26, 2022. TCU won 62-14. TCU's Sonny Dykes won The Associated Press Coach of the Year on Monday, Dec. 19, after leading the No. 3 Horned Frogs to the College Football Playoff in his first season with the school.
“It's the ultimate team award,” Dykes told AP. “It’s indicative of literally everybody in our office, coaches, players, everybody, because more so than ever in college football it is truly a team effort.” Dykes, 53, is in his fourth stop after stints with Louisiana Tech, California and SMU. The Texan and son of longtime Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, Sonny Dykes is 83-64 in 13 seasons as a head coach.
Dykes moved across town to take over at TCU after being with rival SMU for five years. Playing against the Horned Frogs annually, he had a good idea of what kind of team he was getting. The Horned Frogs started the season unranked and didn't lose until dropping the Big 12 championship in overtime to Kansas State.
