Glasgow returning to TCU; Haverty, Burns likely changing roles

Former TCU safeties coach Chad Glasgow is returning to the Horned Frogs’ staff, according to several sources at the school.
Glasgow was Texas Tech’s defensive coordinator this season after being hired away from TCU last spring. Glasgow, who coached TCU safeties for nine seasons, will likely coach the safeties again, but his title and role could be expanded.
Trey Haverty, who coached the Frogs’ safeties in 2011, will move to receivers coach. Haverty, who was a graduate assistant at TCU from 2007 to ’09, was an All-American receiver at Texas Tech from 2001-04.
Rusty Burns, who has coached TCU’s receivers the last three seasons, will move to quarterbacks and will likely be promoted to co-offensive coordinator, alongside Jarrett Anderson.
Justin Fuente, who coached Frogs’ quarterbacks and was the co-coordinator the last three seasons, took the head job at Memphis in early December.
TCU coach Gary Patterson did not return a phone call Tuesday and has said he would wait to announce staff changes until after the season. TCU defeated Louisiana Tech 31-24 in the Poinsettia Bowl two weeks ago.

TCU receiver Antoine Hicks will miss bowl for unspecified violation

TCU receiver Antoine Hicks will not play in Wednesday’s Poinsettia Bowl for violating school policy, coach Gary Patterson said. Hicks, a senior from Mansfield Timberview, sent a twitter message Monday indicating that he was traveling to Indiana.
Patterson said the matter was not academically related and that Hicks is still scheduled to graduate in May.
Hicks is the Horned Frogs’ third-leading receiver with 347 yards on 33 receptions. He has played in all 12 games. Freshman David Porter will likely replace Hicks in the starting lineup.
No. 18 TCU (10-2) meets Louisiana Tech (8-4) at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego.

TCU OL will miss Poinsettia Bowl with broken foot

TCU offensive lineman Ty Horn will miss the Poinsettia Bowl after breaking his foot yesterday, coach Gary Patterson said. The sophomore reserve tackle suffered the injury away from the football field.
No. 18 TCU (10-2) meets Louisiana Tech (8-4) at 7 p.m. Dec. 21 in San Diego on ESPN.
The Frogs were already thin at offensive line because of a season-ending injury to backup center Michael Thompson in October and tackle Tayo Fabuluje having to sit out the season per NCAA transfer rules.
