TCU hires co-defensive coordinators
FORT WORTH, TX (TheSpread) – TCU has decided on its new defensive coordinator, promoting a pair of assistants to run the unit as a pairing.
When 2014 DC Dick Bumpas decided to retire, Gary Patterson was left with a tough decision. On Wednesday the team announced that safeties coach Chad Glasgow and linebackers coach DeMontie Cross were promoted to co-defensive coordinators. Dan Sharp, the special teams coordinator was moved to defensive line coach, as Bumpas also coached that unit.
