[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 2772275, member: 72454"] Possibly it was worded wrong but it is not a stupid question. The only person on staff that would dare have a discussion with Gary about Gary was Chris. Then it would be a light question carefully worded. For more than three-quarters of Gary's tenure there wasn't a need to question Gary about the program. But everybody knew one day that conversation had to come, either that, or Gary would allow his stubborn ego to realize his time has come to step aside. Patterson has become an extraordinary individual in TCU history. How do put a price on all that he and his program has given to TCU? Look around you as you drive by new buildings, observe some of the finest facilities in sports in America as well places of higher learning. His program has created such excitement that corporations, alumni, fans and so forth, have given millions and millions of dollars benefitting TCU. So your going to say, but he didn't raise all of that money. Yes, but he was A catalyst for donation money to be raised. People naturally want to be part of a winner and brag about there school. To my knowledge there are 10 to 12 people (not necessarily TCU staff), who could call Gary and have a discussion about the 'immediate' future of the program). These are regular mega donors who supported Gary early in his career. So yes, it was a good question. As I said before, there is a rather LARGE investment sitting on Stadium Drive and on other streets that won't allow TCU to fall behind. No person is that important to override that thought. I'll bet it works itself out smoothly. I hope so b/c there is so much emotion and your brain does not function well with emotion. Not fully anyway. [/QUOTE]
