TCU's Sonny Dykes gets new deal, coaching award

Sonny Dykes' successful first season at TCU culminated with a huge day for him personally on Wednesday.

Dykes was named the 2022 Walter Camp winner as the nation's best head coach and also reportedly received a new contract from the school.

ESPN reported Wednesday that Dykes had his contract extended through the 2028 season. Further, he got a pay bump that vaults him near the top of all Big 12 coaches, per the report.

Later in the day, Dykes was named the top coach of FBS. The Walter Camp Coach of the Year is voted on by the nation's 131 head coaches and sports information directors. Dykes is the second Horned Frogs coach to win the award, joining Gary Patterson (2009, 2014), whom Dykes replaced in November 2021.

No. 3 TCU (12-1) is in the College Football Playoff for the first time ever, with a date against No. 2 Michigan on Dec. 31 at the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.
