The case for Gary Patterson

I know the "G2" indicates he and his family have it super cozy in Ft Worth. They may in fact enjoy the city, the University support/relationships and the football program.
However, ask yourself what YOU would be thinking if you were a high-achiever like Patterson.
He may just conclude that his window to do something special at TCU is over. UT still sucks, but that will not last forever. OU is back. Baylor seems to have found a long-term posture of being strong. Okla State is usually a strong contender.
Then, think how the hard-headed Big-12 is not moving to a conference championship, leaving it hard for any program not named OU or UT to have a legit change unless they go undefeated.
To me, he would be the perfect fit to replace Miles.
We can match the money, but I think what would matter most to Gary is to have the keys to a truly big time program, and the chance to match wits with the coach everyone considers the best (Saban).
I think he may be our guy.
I'd be thrilled.

You realize the guy has had a 7 win season and a 4 win oh and a 6-6 and 5-6 season. So this is the guy but Miles isn't???

At TCU. Texas Christian University.
TCU hadn't won anything since the 40's or 50's before Patterson.

Gary patterson wrecked ole miss

GP is 55, so not a real long-term answer.
Has been TCU HC for 15 yrs.
I'd be OK with him, just don't think he'd leave this area. Has a big ranch & is in to horses.

I'd take Gary Patterson or Art Briles. Both have overachieved with less talent. You could make the same case for Briles' situation at Baylor. Do either have the roster to win 2 games in a final 4?

I believe that Gary Patterson has the choice between taking a risk by shooting for the moon at a big nme school or go the route of Beamer at VA Tech.

Gary Patterson can stay his sweaty arse in DFW as far as I'm concerned.
Posted on 11/25/15 at 5:14 pm to TigerBert
Patterson wouldn't last 4-5 years in BR.

His wife is apparently a high powered attorney in Dallas probably earning more than him. She "ain't" coming to
Baton Rouge.
Baton Rouge.

Our last coach was a dick and he seems to be the gold standard today.

Stop using his age, hes only 5 yrs older than your beloved Jimbo.
That said hes a helluva coach to do what he did at TCU

I bet you his salary you can't tell me what he makes.
He loves TCU and has not interest in leaving

As much as I HATE Patterson as a person...as a HC on the field you have to respect him.

Roughly $3.5 million
...and yeah I doubt he leaves TCU at this point.
