TCU Fires Assistant Coach AJ Ricker; Fan Survey Questions Decision

TCU Fires Assistant Coach AJ Ricker; Fan Survey Questions Decision
Other Sports · 23:54:44 - Thursday, 29 October 2026

Texas Christian University has dismissed assistant football coach AJ Ricker, prompting a fan reaction survey from the Horned Frogs community site Frogs O' War. The move comes during the 2026 season under head coach Sonny Dykes.

The survey asks whether TCU made the right decision in firing Ricker, whose specific role with the program was not detailed in the initial announcement. Dykes, entering his fourth season as head coach, was photographed on the sideline during TCU's October 24 home game against West Virginia at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

No official reason for Ricker's departure has been released by the university. The Horned Frogs compete in the Big 12 Conference.
