We must get the same ESPN alerts.
Excellent article! Thanks for posting! We're blessed to have such a great coach! Let's hope and pray that Coach P is at TCU for many years to come!
I was going to post the same quote. This statement is the reason I think CGP is a pipe dream for aTm. Do you really think he could tell boosters the same thing there and get the same reaction? TCU is very unique in this regard and, honestly, I think it has more to do with the fact that Gary has built the political capital here for them to accept such a comment from him."I like being somewhere that I can really get to know the boosters and let them know how appreciative I am for their commitment to this program, but I also want them to know that just because they're making that kind of investment doesn't mean they're going to have a stake in my program," Patterson said
This is why we all love Gary as he wants a personal touch in the program, but it is his program and no one is going to get in the way of that. Not many coaches in CFB have the opportunity to run their programs like that these days.

I don't think our boosters would accept it from most other coaches in America and I don't think most other boosters in America would accept it from GP either if they were to hire him. He's been through the crucible at TCU and earned his stripes here and it's virtually impossible for any flagship program to replicate for him what he has with us.
It's also why him taking the A&M job (and the like) is humorous. Too many folks want to stick their hand in the mix because they gave money."I like being somewhere that I can really get to know the boosters and let them know how appreciative I am for their commitment to this program, but I also want them to know that just because they're making that kind of investment doesn't mean they're going to have a stake in my program," Patterson said
