The TCU Horned Frogs have made a big move to bolster their coaching staff, hiring former Boise State head coach Andy Avalos as their new defensive coordinator. This is a major hire for the program, as Avalos brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table.
Avalos spent the past five seasons as the head coach of Boise State, where he led the Broncos to a 43-12 record, including two Mountain West Conference titles and four bowl game appearances. He was also named the Mountain West Coach of the Year in 2019. Prior to his time at Boise State, Avalos spent seven seasons as the defensive coordinator at Eastern Washington University.
At TCU, Avalos will be tasked with leading a defense that has struggled in recent years. The Horned Frogs ranked last in the Big 12 in total defense in 2020, allowing an average of 476.8 yards per game. However, Avalos brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that should help the Horned Frogs improve on that side of the ball.
Avalos is known for his aggressive defensive schemes and his ability to develop players. He has a proven track record of success at both the collegiate and professional levels, and he should be able to bring that same success to TCU. His experience and knowledge should be a major asset for the Horned Frogs, and it should help them take a big step forward on defense in 2021 and beyond.
The TCU Horned Frogs have made a great hire in Andy Avalos, and they should be excited about what he brings to the table. With his experience and knowledge, Avalos should be able to help the Horned Frogs improve on defense and take a step forward in 2021 and beyond.
