Eccentricities? C'mon, man! It's not like his favorite dish is Chocolate-Dipped Dachshunds on a stick...
Butthurt Gary!!Disappointed in Patterson. He could get a position like this anywhere, or another head coaching job somewhere, but not at Texas. Again, I feel like he is just giving TCU the finger. I hope so much we kick their asses.
Did Patterson work at UT before coming to TCU?I find it interesting that we took Dykes from our rival SMU, and that's OK. But Patterson going to UT is a crime of some sort. These coaches get to chose their own paths in life. And whether or not they go to work for a rival may just be a smart decision based on things other than rivalry.
Of course SD and GP do not have completely parallel careers. Your point? We took an employed coach away from SMU. UT took a former TCU coach who was unemployed. I don't get the angst.Did Patterson work at UT before coming to TCU?
So you have decided he needed to just sit for a year or take a job that requires he uproot his life for the good of TCU when he only has about 5-7 years left - well how magnanimous of you….Can you? Obviously we don't know who might have approached him or he approached. WGAF? He could not do anything rather than go to scheissing Texas. Pretty sure he doesn't need the money.
Can you imagine how much criticism TCU would get if they removed GPs statue? Don’t kid yourself, GP and his wife do not like the way they were treated at the end. They want revenge BAD.As much as I appreciate everything GP did for this program, the statue needs to come down after this
So no Baylor, Texas, OU, Aggie?What does tenure have to do with it? Everything in my opinion. His 22 years here. His statue outside the stadium. Yeah I feel like it means something.
Like I said I have no problem with him taking another job ... except for at a school like Texas. A hated rival (for me anyway).
If he had gone to Baylor the heads of most on this board would be exploding. Could you imagine Saban being forced out at Bama and going to Auburn? (Not that I am comparing GP to Saban).
It is Texas. Same if it had been OU. Or Aggie. I find it a little treasonist when he no doubt had other options, which included not going to Texas.
You think he’s got a good singing voice?Gary taking his amazing musical talent to the “live music capital of the world”, should shock, or disappoint, no one. Everyone needs to just take a step back!
It was because CDC was there and convinced him. It’s a pretty simple & low pressure sale for a really good salesman like CDC. And GP was a motivated target as well.Not sure why anyone would be surprised that Patterson would go to a Big 12 school, especially in Texas.
I would have been surprised if he went to Rutgers, Illinois, or Oregon State, but not UT.
He made a pit-stop at the Hillsboro Outlet Mall on his way to Austin.interesting hat
TCU said “scheiss you” to GP first.Like I have said, yes he can go work elsewhere, and his choosing to go to Texas is a big scheiss you to TCU and its fans IMO. I don't appreciate his decision. That is my opinion and I am not looking for anyone's approval of my opinion.
