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

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
