DMN: Could joining Steve Sarkisian’s staff as an analyst be the resurrection Gary Patterson needs?

[Pure Purple]

Volte-face, once a devoted comrade....now a potential 'burnt orange' adversary?

 

[BrewingFrog]

The odd thing, and maybe my buddy got confused, but GP would have a recruiting role?? I assume it’s more of a spotting talent role than actually recruiting.

Considering our Defense the last couple of years, and the grotesque misses we've had in landing starsied players who can actually perform, they're welcome to his ace ability of talent evaluation...

 

[tcudoc]

Orange man bad…we get it!

 

[Froginbedford]

I thought everybody left Bell so they wouldn't have to play all the Tongans at Trinity...by the way, I went to Trinity when the school originally opened and the football team then was abysmal.

This is an Ethno- no-no

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Fwiw, sounds like a done deal. My buddy said he’s surprised it hasn’t been announced and assumes it will be this week.
From what I heard GP will still live in FW and work remotely but will obviously come to Austin frequently.

The idea of GP going on the road to recruit for Texas makes me giggle. I hope it’s true.

Yeah, that puzzled me. I’ll have to follow up with my buddy. I was many beers deep when this was all brought up.

Wouldn't he have to be an on-the-field coach, not an analyst, to go on the road recruiting?

As an analyst, I suppose he could go on the road and scout, look at players, but actually talk to players and high school coaches?

 

[LisaLT]

Well...so is this happening for sure or not?

 

[WIN]

Like ut has trouble getting "talent".

Feel like Patterson would break out in hives dealing with the typical UT recruit.

Your throwing facts into a UT love/hate fest.

I don’t know things like that. I’m just here to snipe and crack the occasional joke.

Like The Rules apply to UT...

he would have to be in a true coaching staff position to do that

 

[WIN]

ut needs gp to instill his "chip on the shoulder" philosophy when joining the sec

Any great coach I’ve ever known has felt like they can take yours and beat theirs and take theirs and beat yours.

If all this transpires as expected we will get to find out for sure if Gary was underperforming at TCU as many have suggested and we will get to find out if Gary can become a catalyst in the reconstruction of the Texas football dynasty.

It’s going to be interesting to watch! I’ll not stop being a huge GP fan no matter what school he lands at. TCU fired him and that let’s him off the hook completely for any sports hate.

please explain your second paragraph concerning how what happens in austin is some sort of litmus test as to what happened in ft worth over the last 4 seasons when his teams went 21-22 overall and 13-19 in conference play

Well, this is him at the Texas basketball game tonight with CDC in a longhorn pullover.

I’m pretty sure that poster is GP’s agent, some type of relative, and/or just has a helluva man crush.

sangria is welcome to think and believe as he wishes, same as the rest on this board, just curious where the bar is on meeting expectations and how being a consultant in austin in some way would exonerate what happened the last 3 1/2 years in ft worth
