TCU taps Kent State coach

? TCU hired Jim Christian away from Kent State on Saturday, hoping his penchant for 20-win seasons with the Golden Flashes translates to the moribund Horned Frogs.

Christian was introduced during a news conference at TCU on Saturday afternoon.

Christian was 138-58 in six years at Kent State, winning at least 20 games each season. The Golden Flashes were 28-7 this year, losing in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to UNLV.

Neil Dougherty was fired by TCU on March 16, three days after a 14-16 season ended.
