TCU Hires Perry as high school football Liason

Harry · March 4, 2013

It’s all the rage now among college football’s elite programs and TCU has joined the fray.

The school will announce Friday the addition of longtime area football
coach Kenny Perry as its director of high school football relations.

It’s a newly created position for the Horned Frogs, and one coach Gary
Patterson has wanted for several years. The move to hire Perry had been
in the works for several months but didn’t become official until
Thursday evening.

Perry, 42, has been the head coach at Arlington Bowie High School since 2005. Before that, he was head coach at Haltom
(2004-05) and Arlington Sam Houston (2000-03). Perry was earning about $100,000 as of January 2011 at Bowie, where he was also athletic
coordinator.

“He knows a lot of people in the business across the state,” Patterson said. “He’s just a great football coach and we felt
like he’d be a great addition to our staff. To be a high school liaison, you have to know a lot of people and Kenny Perry does.”

Perry’s job will include contacting high school coaches about recruits, handling visits from recruits and helping facilitate TCU players entering the
NFL. The hiring comes on the heels of the departure of Danielle Bartelstein, who was the assistant director of football operations
before leaving to take the director of football relations job at Texas Tech in January.
