Maybe this will temper the notion that GP is a hopeless candidate for LSU or that he'd never leave

quote:

I have always said that he really likes TCU and the longer he stays there, the more likely it is that he'll retire from TCU. However, those 2 schools (lsu and texas) along with OU should scare TCU fans the most. I think he would give them a legit look. He was being linked to Michigan recently but then he signed his TCU extension. I think Les Miles or Brady Hoke will end up at Michigan.


He also apparently is making closer to $4M with incentives

If he makes 4 it would take, what, 5.5 to get him?

Alleva won't pony that up.

i think if he got down here and realized the possibility of what can be accomplished here, he'd be in complete awe.

Why would it take that much to leave for a better job? And that's not 4M base.

Money has never been an issue at TCU. There is more than enough money at TCU. They are forking out 105 Million dollars for a stadium renovation.

Yeah the rant seems to think he enjoys being at a directional Texas school that will never reach the appeal of at least three other schools in that state.

i would have said this if they weren't going to be moving in the big east.
but even going undefeated in the big east, they dont play in the BCSCG this year or last. he had a senior laden team, senior QB, his stock may never get higher. i can see him moving on

had rivals radio on yesterday. said Patterson married into money, so money is not an issue with him. it would have to be the desire to want to be at lsu

He's not the only coach in the country that has money outside of coaching. It's not as if guys like Dooley and Kiffin were struggling growing up.
