What exactly do you guys think “insider” means?
Lots of people have a lot of different types of relationships with our school and athletics leadership based on a number of different factors from donations to participating in committees to employment to just plain friendship
Not sure any of that means you are an “insider” or maybe all of those people are at some level - mostly it just means you probably have enough common sense to not read too much into everything that gets said or reported.

Or, maybe the smoke was all GP’s way of getting CDC to cough up more dinero for he and his staff.

Actually was being complementary.... IIRC you are a former player, and you know the Pattersons on some level, so your opinions carry some weight as far as I'm concerned. Plus I bet you're rich.

Yeah, she doesn't really have the "Frog Factor". She doesn't really have a motor, and we never really wanted her anyway.
Am I doing this right?

I have no doubt that Maniac believes what he was told, and I have no doubt that the person who told Maniac whatever he told him believed it as well.
The problem is that people always hear all these things and there’s tons of misinformation out there when it comes to coaching situations. I have no doubt that some important Aggies 100% believed that they were close to getting Gary. People believe what they want to believe.
I never worried for a second about GP taking the Aggie job. Gary is retiring here unless something changes drastically at TCU.

I edited my post to say "not true" vs "blatant lie." Wasn't trying to accuse Moose of being a liar... just a careless use of wording. But him saying that there was no smoke simply isn't true.
I don't think Moose is lying. I'm just saying he's not right. And yes Moose. I don't think you were told the entire truth.
By no mean was Patterson packing up his bags and starting to look at homes in College Station, but his interest in the A&M position was far more serious than a "I'm just going to use this to get a raise for me and my coaches."
Moose will continue to get all the likes because he's selling the narrative we all want to hear, but it's just not true. And that doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. To consider other opportunities is only human and to be expected.
In his heart of hearts, I don't think GP ever fully thought he'd leave TCU... but the opening at A&M and the opportunity to coach in the SEC where defenses get more respect was something that genuinely intrigued him and was something he very much considered. At the end of the day, Gary and Kelsey decided that staying at TCU was still the best option and that's something we should be very proud of. But to act as if Gary never genuinely considered the opportunity simply isn't true.

There was never smoke from A&M sources. The only smoke was from reporters who have zero clue as to what is going on. Jimbo Fisher has been the number one target and apparently has been in the bag for a while now.
A&M never perused Gary Patterson. Not because we wouldn’t love to have him but because Jimbo Fisher has been the guy and secondly no one believes GP will leave TCU.

Just out of curiosity: If Patterson's negotiating is worthy anything at all, how would ANYONE outside of Gary Patterson's immediate family know the difference between the two? Right? I mean, wouldn't he be the worst negotiator of all time if he said to literally anyone "Don't worry, just doing this for a raise"?

This is not even a conspiracy. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. The Earth is flat. All these things that particular groups, I won’t even pinpoint one group, that they almost offer up this education. The fact that, in our lifetimes, that there are so many holes and so many pockets in our history. … I’m telling you, it’s right in front of our faces. They lie to us. … Everything that was put in front of me, I had to be like, ‘Oh, this is all a facade.’ Like, this is all something that they ultimately want me to believe in … but now there is a certain aspect of life in which I want to tell people about, which is this true journey of really becoming a complete individual and total freedom of thought. Do you know what I’m saying? Question things, but even if an answer doesn’t come back, you’re perfectly fine with that, because you were never living in that particular truth. There’s a falseness in stories and things that people want you to believe and ultimately what they throw in front of us.
