Ryan Higginbotham was named an assistant coach at TCU in January 2012.
The Dallas native joins the Horned Frogs' coaching staff after serving as the Director of Coaching for the girls division at the Dallas Texans Soccer Club. Higginbotham was responsible for overseeing all girls teams within the Texas Club since June 2007. While with the Texans, the club claimed four national championships, including the 2011 U19 USYSA National Championship and 2011 U16 USYSA National League title. Higginbotham was named the 2009 NSCAA Girls Youth National and Regional Coach of the Year. Higginbotham also served as the Director of Coaching from 2003-2006 and has been a Region III staff coach for the US Olympic Development Program since 2008.
Higginbotham's most recent collegiate position was as an assistant coach for the men's soccer program at Akron from March 2006 to June 2007. While with the Zips, his duties included that of the recruiting coordinator and organizing team travel. He coached eight all-conference players, including the MAC Most Valuable Player and an NSCAA All-American. Of his two recruiting classes at Akron, the Zips welcomed three US Youth National Team members, one Canadian Youth National Team member and a former Arsenal (England) youth player.
Higginbotham also spent two seasons with the men's soccer program at Furman University, helping the Paladins to four Southern Conference regular season championships and three league tournament crowns.
