A memorable year for TCU coach Sonny Dykes included a 51-45 victory over Michigan in the Fiesta Bowl, which served as a College Football Playoff semifinal.TCU coach Sonny Dykes grew up in awe and admiration of Paul “Bear” Bryant. Now Dykes owns an award named for the fabled Alabama coach.
Dykes, who led TCU to the national title game in his first season with the Horned Frogs, won the 37th Paul “Bear” Bryant Award at the Post Oak Hotel late Wednesday night. “It’s a very prestigious award. Anything named after coach Bryant is a big deal,” said Dykes, son of another coaching icon in the late Spike Dykes of Texas Tech. “He was probably the biggest name in college football history from a coaching perspective. And my father had tremendous respect for coach Bryant.”“Not what most 12-year-olds get on their birthdays,” Dykes said with a chuckle.
Dykes earned what amounted to a sweep of the major national college coach of the year honors, with the Bryant Award being the ninth such distinction. The Horned Frogs were 5-7 last year prior to Dykes’ arrival and became the first team from Texas to make the four-team College Football Playoff.
