TCU parts ways with offensive line coach A.J. Ricker

Dykes said the line’s performance and need for alignment led to Ricker’s departure despite their long relationship; TCU ranks last in the Big 12 in rushing and sacks allowed. Sammis is taking over line oversight, with Mitch Kirsch helping, while earlier coverage also named Ryan Swingle among those overseeing the unit. Protection and run-game improvement remain unproven with five games left.
