I've lived in Bedford for 40 years....Is there some stigma to the town?
DMN: Could joining Steve Sarkisian’s staff as an analyst be the resurrection Gary Patterson needs?

Gary will improve their defense AND possibly be such a hit another school may look at Patterson and offer him a job or maybe even as a head coach. That is in the back of Gary's mind and the main reason CDC will announce his new hire sometime this week. Personally I don't see another school offering him a head coaching job*. Especially if they go back and re-read all of the post from KFC before Gary's departure. GP made a collection of bad management decisions dating over a number of years. I think it has caught up with him at this point unless does a turn around, this is his best opportunity to be a part of college football again. I'm told he is in denial on those decisions still today. Someone said above he can be a part of football but in the back room without encaging as he did in the past. True, true.
BTW:* if u didn't know Kelsey is from Austin and at one time worked in the UT athletic office. Reason # two why he'll jump on this opportunity. I still wish him the best where ever he goes. I keep thinking of the times w/ GP but know he is saying to himself, if the ex UT coach, color analyst on network tv and now coach of North Carolina can do it so can I.
As a P-5 hc and a seasoned gentleman, it is very, very hard to change, learn and project that change to the players, alums, media and so on and so on.

mack went back home where they had a very positive experience with him and they were more than happy to give him what he wants.
ironically the program under mack now is very similar to when he was there once before, recruiting out their arses, ;plenty of talent, lamb killer squad which struggles when punched in the mouth

Was I supposed to type something here?
In all honesty, I rather hoped he would leave the game and the stress of it for a while. He didn't look terribly good those last games, and the stress of facing the inevitable must have been crushing.

At worst, Gary will make $1m+/- for a year or so and won't be any worse off for becoming a UT analyst. At best, he could find himself being named interim head coach should Sark get fired during the season which is a real possibility. If that occurred and he was exceedingly lucky and turned it around on the back end of their schedule with OU behind them, he could find himself marketable for a HC position- unlikely at UT but not completely impossible, more likely at some other P5 that may find themselves bereft of good candidates at some vulnerable point in time.

Yes you and me both. This past season did not go well with Patterson and it showed. Opportunities were to many combining that with the seasons before. Mostly his fault as the head coach b/c the blame lies at his feet. Oddly enough...well what the heck, its over now and as we know, life goes on.

Maybe a little, but this is really his only option. Hot headed coach 5 years from retirement age isn't the best look to recruits or assistant coaches. Best to sign up for a Wal Mart job from the highest bidder...and hope to get lucky for something bigger.Feel like GP is giving us the finger going to help Texas.

Welp, Gary hasn’t been able to beat a Sonny Dykes team with better talent the past two years, what makes you so certain he can do so the next two years?

I still think this is more about the Austin Music Scene, and less about sticking it to TCU.
It's like getting to moonlight twice over. He can still do something college football related and explore his music. I hope he succeeds. I watched my grandpa fall apart after he was forced into retirement. That can mess with a man.

Based on....what? GP was the only coach in the world capable of leading TCU to a win over Texas?

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 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.

FYI, it is a very old running joke about LD Bell sucking now because everyone of any talent moved to Aledo to be part of the perennial state champion football program. As a grad of LD Bell (long ago), I am still sensitive about this (not really).

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.
