How many remember the "dark ages" from the mid 60's to Franchione. Patterson has been a blessing to this program. He deserves every opportunity to turn this around. If he cannot, he deserves to leave on his own terms. We (TCU fans) have not always been so delusional. In the end, it's only a football game.
He is not paid "leave on his own terms" money. He is paid "deliver" money.
Should he get another year, yes. But if he wont make needed changes for coaches, including s&c, and has another bad season, well, then he risks it.
Many of us were here pre fran, but we cant get suckered I to thinking another great coach would not come or that Patterson should not have to win.
Nobody wants him gone, but he is the one who controls his fate.
