The 2016 Texas Christian Horned Frogs football team represented Texas Christian University (TCU) in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The 121st TCU football team played as a member of the Big 12 Conference (Big 12) and played their home games at Amon G. Carter Stadium, on the TCU campus in Fort Worth, Texas. The Horned Frogs were led by 16th-year head coach Gary Patterson, the winningest coach in TCU football history. They finished the season 6–7, 4–5 in Big 12 play to finish in fifth place. They were invited to the Liberty Bowl where they lost to Georgia.
Preseason
Departures
Senior quarterback and 2014 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and 2015 runner-up Trevone Boykin and unanimous first team All-American wide receiver Josh Doctson led a large class of graduating seniors that departed TCU at the conclusion of the 2015 season.
Recruiting class
TCU inked five junior college transfers in December 2015, including 4-star defensive end Mat Boesen (Long Beach C.C.), 4-star linebacker Tyree Horton, 4-star safety Markell Simmons (Pima C.C.), 4-star wide receiver Taj Williams (Iowa Western C.C.), and 3-star offensive tackle Chris Gaynor (Dodge City C.C.). Four of the five junior college transfers enrolled at TCU in January 2016, will participate in spring practice and will be eligible to play in 2016. The fifth signee, Tyree Horton, is expected to enroll in the summer.[1] TCU added a sixth junior college transfer, 4-star wide receiver Ryan Parker (Tyler J.C.), on February 3, 2016; Parker is expected to enroll in the summer.[2]
Four of TCU's freshmen signees arrived early for the spring term at TCU and enrolled with the four January junior college transfers. The January freshmen enrollees include 4-star wide receiver Isaiah Graham (Bastrop, LA), 4-star athlete (running back and linebacker) Sewo Olonilua (Humble Kingwood), 3-star tight end Artayvious Lynn (Milford Academy), and 3-star quarterback Brennen Wooten (San Angelo Central).[1]
The Frogs added a late signee in July. In the wake of the Baylor sexual assault scandal[3] and firing of Art Briles,[4] Baylor released 4-star defensive end Brandon Bowen from his National Letter of Intent, and Bowen signed with the TCU.[5]
TCU signed the following 23 recruits, which combined to be a unanimous top-25 class, ranked as high as 13:[6]

Incoming transfers
In addition to the 2016 recruiting class, TCU added six transfers, including three eligible for the current season, to the 2016 roster:
List of Incoming Transfers |
Name | Pos. | Eligible Beginning | Years of Eligibility | Previous School | Notes |
John Diarse | WR | 2016 | 2 | LSU | Transferred in January 2016 after graduating from LSU.[1] In 2013, Diarse was a 4-star recruit out of Neville H.S. in Monroe, LA.[7] |
Derrick Green | RB | 2016 | 1 | Michigan | Transferred in summer 2016 after graduating from Michigan.[8] In 2013, Green was a 4-star recruit and named to the ESPN 300.[8][9] |
Cole Hunt | TE | 2016 | 2 | Rice | Transferred after graduating from Rice; Hunt is the younger brother of former TCU center Joey Hunt.[10] |
Ben Banogu | DE | 2017 | 2 | ULM | Transferred in January 2016.[11] In 2014, Banogu was a 2-star recruit out of Prosper H.S. in Prosper, TX.[12] |
Andrew David | PK/P | 2017 | 3 | Michigan | Transferred in fall 2016.[13] |
Blake Hickey | OL | 2017 | 4 | Kansas State | Transferred in fall 2016 as a preferred walk on after enrolling at K-State during the summer.[10] In 2016, Hickey was a 3-star recruit.[10] |
Coaching staff
Co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach DeMontie Cross left TCU after the 2016 Alamo Bowl to accept the sole defensive coordinator position at Missouri, where Cross played from 1994–96.[14] Despite anticipated turnover on the TCU coaching staff as a result of the Horned Frogs' successes, particularly their offensive turnaround in 2014 and 2015, Cross was the only position or coordinator-level coach to depart Fort Worth. Former TCU and NFL defensive lineman Zarnell Fitch was promoted to defensive line Coach after serving as the Frogs' director of high school relations from June 2014 through January 2016,[15] and former TCU and NFL linebacker Jason Phillips will continue his work at TCU as a graduate assistant and coach linebackers.[16][17] The 2016 staff was completed with the promotion of graduate assistant Jake Brown as the new director of high school relations and recruiting.[18]
In November 2015, TCU co-offensive coordinator/play-caller and inside wide receivers coach Doug Meacham was named a finalist for the head coaching job at the University of North Texas, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Meacham was expected to receive and accept an offer; but on December 1, Meacham withdrew his name from consideration for the post.[19] Meacham was also rumored to be named the new head coach at Tulane in December 2015, but the rumors were quashed by Meaham and TCU and Meacham was not named as the Green Wave's new coach.[20] In January 2016, Meacham declined an offer to become the head coach of the Texas State Bobcats[21] and an offer to become the sole offensive coordinator at Texas A&M.[22]
In December 2015, TCU co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Sonny Cumbie was reportedly offered a three-year, $1+ million per year contract to become the sole offensive coordinator and play caller at the University of Texas. Despite an intense public effort by Longhorns' head coach Charlie Strong, Cumbie declined the offer and elected to remain in his role at TCU.[23]
Frogs' running backs coach Curtis Luper was reportedly a finalist for the head coaching job at ULM, but he withdrew his name from consideration on the same day Sonny Cumbie declined the offensive coordinator position at Texas and Doug Meacham quashed rumors regarding the head coaching job at Tulane. Luper was also a candidate for the head coaching job at UTSA and interviewed for the job on January 10[24] before eventually removing his name from consideration.[25]
In January 2016, offensive graduate assistant Bryson Oliver left TCU to accept a full-time coaching job at Tarleton State, and former Oklahoma State quarterback J. W. Walsh joined the Horned Frogs as a new offensive graduate assistant.[26]
Spring practice
The 2016 Horned Frogs opened spring practice on February 27, 2016.[1][27] Over the course of the 15 practices in 5 weeks, Patterson praised the efforts of all junior college transfer early enrollees[28] and addressed concerns at defensive tackle and noted development at linebacker with players' return from or experience gained as a result of others' injury.[29] Entering spring question, the Frogs' biggest question mark was at starting quarterback.[30] After the spring game on April 1, highlighted by the play of defensive ends and cornerbacks,[31] starting quarterback contenders Kenny Hill and Foster Sawyer both remained listed as possible starters on the post-spring depth chart.[32]
Fall camp
Big 12 media days were held in Dallas, Texas, on July 18 and 19.[33] Prior to media days, Kenny Hill was named Big 12 Preseason Newcomer of the Year and Josh Carraway, James McFarland and KaVontae Turpin were named to the Preseason All-Big 12 football team.[34] The Frogs were also picked by the Big 12 media to finish second in the conference standings and received 2 first place votes, with the remainder going to top-picked OU.[35]
Players reported for fall camp on August 3, and the first practice was held August 4.[36] Head coach Gary Patterson named redshirt sophomore Kenny Hill the starting quarterback on August 25, 2016.[37]

The Razorbacks' trip to Fort Worth marked the first time the two former Southwest Conference rivals have met on the gridiron since Arkansas departed the SWC for the SEC in 1992, and the first matchup pitting TCU head coach Gary Patterson against Arkansas coach Bret Bielema since the two faced off in the 2011 Rose Bowl Game when Bielema coached the Wisconsin Badgers. The Horned Frogs' double overtime defeat snapped their 14-game home winning streak; their last loss at home came on November 30, 2013 to #9 Baylor.

The winner of the 2014 and 2015 TCU–Oklahoma matchups went on to win at least a share of the years' Big 12 Conference Championships. In 2014, a late pick-six helped TCU secure a victory, and the Frogs went on to split the 2014 Big 12 title with Baylor. In 2015, Oklahoma deflected a go-ahead TCU two-point conversion attempt in the final seconds of the game in Norman, and the Sooners went on to win the Big 12 title and represent the conference in the College Football Playoff.
