Was this recently, post-GP leaving the Frogs?Nope that won't happen. At his son's wedding, I mentioned to Gary about Texas. Gary's brother Keith was standing there with us shaking his head no as well.

The problem at Texas goes way beyond the players or coaches. They have waaayy too many "money men/alumni" who think they have the right to tell the AD, Coaches or whole dang department what to do when it comes to personnel and how they run their program. Mack was good at politicking around it but it even got him in the end. If they don't figure out a way to get those way too rich and way too arrogant donors out of the way they will never get back to where they were. That and they have to take a page from A&M and give the new coach at least 5 years to get it turned around and going the right way. If they start calling for the coaches head every three years they are never going to get back to the old Texas. They could go get Urban, it would make some people mad but the guy knows how to build programs and win college football games.I don't understand the situation there.
Coach after coach, cant seem to get it done. Coaches that were successful in their previous stops.
On paper they should be really good. Are Texas(HS) recruits now becoming duds?
We are next, hopefully we don't suffer the same fate.
Agree, mostly, but Zach Evans is a beautiful runner and worthy of appreciating as a five star talent. A joy to watch when he plays. Miller was only .8344 on 247 composite and I wonder why—and how much can be learned and gained from that in future recruiting. How much does coming from small 2A Mount Enterprise factor in.
How about Zach Evan‘s TALENT is worthy of infatuation. Top shelf running back talent is a big reason we love to watch football—Barry Sanders just came to mind for some reason, Uff Da.Give me someone that is contributing. Have no problem with ZE but we need him on the field.
I don't disagree. I think Evans is a better talent, but not by much at all. I'm sure coming from a 2A school was a huge factor in Miller flying under the radar.Agree, mostly, but Zach Evans is a beautiful runner and worthy of appreciating as a five star talent.

Whu...."the Steaming Pile??" ACK!! My eyes! MY EYES!! OOOHHH!! THE HUMANITY!!“According to sources, before he went to Austin he had been in the TCU coaches’ meetings trying to help out for the Frogs’ next opponent, Oklahoma State. Let’s just say it wasn’t going smoothly, so GP wisely decided he just had to get out.”
“Patterson wants to coach again, and if a decent head coaching position is not offered he will, and should, be a defensive coordinator somewhere next season.”
“Or an NFL team could be interested to hire Patterson as a defensive coordinator, which may pique his interest.”
Not with a bunch of assistant coaches spending most of their time on the phone looking for jobs. Plus they nor the players (except for a few) give a flying F. We can expect two more losses.Let's just hope we find a way to win this weekend or we will look silly just like UT losing at home to Kansas. And the last home game to boot.
Coach P could be Sark’s DC and have four and five star talent, or it might be fun to see him in the NFL.
Finally, Texas and Gary Patterson’s timing works out for the perfect union | Opinion

It's primarily the Prima Donna Syndrome, that's been going on down there since Mac Daddy's last few years there. The many Big Stadium recruits that come there for the wrong reasons...On paper they should be really good. Are Texas(HS) recruits now becoming duds?
