TCU football hires quarterbacks coach with ties to new offensive coordinator

[ad_1]

TCU football has found its new quarterbacks coach.

Tulsa offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Brad Robbins finalized a deal Thursday to join the Horned Frogs’ staff, the Star-Telegram confirmed.

Robbins previously worked with incoming Horned Frogs offensive coordinator Gordon Sammis at UConn under Jim Mora in 2024 as quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.

Robbins left to coach the Golden Hurricane’s offense in December 2024. Tulsa went 4-8 this season.

The opening was created at TCU by Kendal Briles’ departure to South Carolina last month. Briles served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during his tenure in Fort Worth.

At UConn in 2024, Sammis and Robbins helped develop quarterback Joe Fagnano, who threw for 1,631 yards and 20 touchdowns. Fagnano was named the offensive MVP of the Fenway Bowl, and UConn finished 9-4.

Robbins previously served as receivers coach and pass game coordinator at Tennessee Tech in 2023. He also had coaching stints at Charleston Southern and North Greenville.

TCU will be looking for a new starting quarterback next season with the departure of Josh Hoover in the transfer portal. Senior backup Ken Seals played his final game in the Horned Frogs’ win over USC in the Alamo Bowl on Tuesday.

TCU is expected to bring in an experienced quarterback in the portal, which opens Friday, to compete with freshman Adam Schobel, who didn’t play this season.
