re: Gary Patterson out at TCU. Thanks for the memories.

Interesting takes on the TCU program. For a while, they could argue having the best football and baseball teams in the state. With both coaches gone, this is a big spot to be in.
They’ve performed over their level for about 2 decades now. VERY few programs can make claims like that…Boise, maybe Utah

You at least put Lee in to see if anything would change though ?

Lee was a great Tiger, but Bama was his Kryptonite.
I recall he had 6 more career INTs than TDs vs them?
Even the other statue, a green Mett would've likely been disastrous.

Boise St. Cincy, maybe. The old BCS Buster teams, I guess. But all of that is over with. With the Big XII dying, and no one to really fill Patterson's shoes, TCU will go back to the cellar.
I really hope Patterson lands on his feet. I'm sure he will. He deserves better. I guess he met with the coaching staff Monday to go over what would have been his plan for Baylor.
Class act.

Saw the biggest titty ever on the Jumbotron at that game thanks to a TCU coed. Thing was probably 15 yards by 12 yards when it made its appearance.
*after reading this thread I’m so happy others share the same fond memory.

Not going through all of this but didn’t see anything about this in about 80% of this topic
Gary Patterson at one time was someone the NFL coaches would pick his ear over. Defenses in the NFL rapidly change and it is always hard to get things perfectly right but that 4-2-5 pretty much became the Seattle Seahawks. Pete Carroll is not a dummy. Well known after the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin people really started to believe
Watch the game. Very important game in the history of CFB and football in general
TCU at times had issues like any team would but for the most part TCU with a defense giving up a lot of size did pretty well against that football team
Problem always with college football is the talent pool. Don’t have it like NFL teams. Especially on defense.
The one position coaches started to substitute and that is LB.
Always liked Dave Aranda because he knew the LB position. Gary Patterson isn’t far off
Taking this back to LSU.
Aranda pretty much is one of the reasons you see Patterson out
Aranda is a better version of what GP made his money on. Evaluating.
Unlike Patterson Aranda doesn’t have a concern with offenses who sometimes hurt the defense

Follow LSU history
How does LSU have that many losses against Rice
Should be undefeated
All those schools in Texas are like that. Right coach wins. That is why coaches are always on the hot seat.
TCU has had two
Even Rice has had one
1961 LSU would have been NC but they lost to Rice to begin the season.

I remember he scoffed at the idea of becoming the LSU coach in the past. Acted like it was beneath him.We don't need that a.. clown.

Can't argue any of that but at that point we obviously weren't moving the ball past the 50 with Jefferswag so you have to at least put him in.
Posted on 11/3/21 at 8:10 pm to Daequalizer
I guess you use the guy who's proven to give the best chance to win.
IIRC LSU was at Bama 30 at 15-0 (?) before an OL penalty screwed it up.

Not to belabor this, but the Fort Worth community does consider TCU its hometown team. Patterson didn't have to drum up support. But he did have to shake a lot of hands to get local business people to donate to improve the stadium (can you imagine Saban doing that?).
TCU only has 11,000 students but a stadium with 50,000 capacity. Tiger Stadium is twice that size, but has three times the number of students. TCU draws well when they're winning, but sellouts depend on the opponent. Games against Texas, Oklahoma and Baylor are usually sellouts.
Other than these last couple of years, the football program has been decidedly better than Boise State. Patterson's team beat Texas regularly, and he's beaten some good non-conference teams, like Oregon and Ole Miss.
No, they're not SEC-caliber, but who is?
They, like most of the Big 12, are likely to get left behind when the expected major reorganization of college football occurs.
And it will be because their small student, alumni and fan base can't bring enough eyeballs to the new TV package.
Lastly I lived in Fort Worth for a few years and I can assure you the city doesn't have a little brother complex about Dallas. It's proud of its distinct personality.
It may be "small potatoes" in sports, as you said, but the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Rangers both play on the Fort Worth side of town.

This is totally wrong.
He would have left for LSU in 2016 but they didn't even call him.

My son was recruited by Patterson and went to a couple of their camps. I really liked the guy. He is intense but quite personable. I could see him getting considered for a DC position at a P5 school or HC at another TCU type program.
