re: Does anyone actually think Patterson would leave TCU?

quote:

Winning or competing in the Big East each year will never be enough for a coach at some point. They'll want another challenge. Just look at the coaches that have left the Big East.

Two things: (1) how many of those coaches could recruit in TX, and how many made a legitimate run at a NC. Paterson knows he'll do both. (2) Your statement would be somewhat valid if Paterson were in the Big East NOW...he's not. He won't be until 2012. So if he goes to the Big East and wins, and IF the Tigers are looking for a new coach in say 5 or 6 years, then your post will make sense at that time. Until then....
