I thought the guy was retiring. He will be huge if he is allowed to do his thing at Texas.

He was 7-4 vs. Texas. They can use all the help they can get.

It’s possible he just wanted to retire from being the head of a program and felt it was the right time for a new steward. 21 years straight in charge is tiring to even think about

Sounds like he's going to be in an analyst role.

Would not say no to him being on staff. Very stabilizing hire for Texas. Sark gets canned and he is the new coach. Wonder if he is thinking a future AD type job?

He's been with the Texas staff for the last week or two. I think he is going to have a much bigger role than your normal analyst but his main priorities are fixing this piece of shite defense and showing Sark what halftime adjustments look like. Also, we have almost no Texas guys on this staff and he has 25 years of relationships with Texas high school coaches. Gary would would be miserable in retirement and he really wants his name attached to a national title.

As I said an absolute great pick up by Texas. This can really be a good thing for them. Dynamics between him and Sark will be crucial but if they can figure out that relationship look out.

I think he will end being the DC at Texas. He would be a great hire.

^ this

I think this is a great pickup by Sark. I honestly think Patterson just wants to ride out his day just scheming defense instead of being the head guy

This pick up will legitimately help Texas enter the SEC and get recruits/transfer portal players to Texas. We can laugh all we want but Texas in the SEC is going to be a thing to be competed with.
