Lounsbury
named assistant at Tulsa TCU quarterbacks coach Dan Lounsbury will be the offensive coordinator for Tulsa next season, Golden Hurricane head coach Keith Burns announced Tuesday. Lounsbury leaves TCU after one year as the quarterbacks coach. Burns said he tried to hire Lounsbury two season ago when Burns came to Tulsa from Arkansas, where he was defensive coordinator. “We’re thrilled to have him coming to Tulsa,” Burns said. “He is one of the first coaches I wanted to hire, but the timing did not work out as well as it did this time.” Head coach Gary Patterson could not be reached for comment Wednesday. Patterson is traveling to recruit high school players. Lounsbury, 49, served a stint as quarterbacks coach at Kentucky and was an offensive assistant under Fred Akers at Texas and Purdue in the 1980s. He was head coach at Southeastern Oklahoma State in Durant from 1983 to 1985 and was an assistant in the World Football League. At East Texas State, Lounsbury coached former NFL quarterback and current Dallas Cowboys quarterback coach, Wade Wilson. Tulsa scrounged up a 1-10 record last season and finished last in the Western Athletic Conference. Nathan
