TCU and coach Sonny Dykes have agreed to a multiyear contract extension, sources told ESPN’s Pete Thamel on Friday.

Dykes had been under contract through 2028, and his last listed salary was more than $7 million.

TCU has gone 36-17 since Dykes took over as the Horned Frogs coach in 2022, including a trip to the College Football Playoff national championship game that first season. TCU’s 36 wins are the most by a Big 12 program over the past four seasons.
