[QUOTE="Showtime Joe 2.0, post: 2793660, member: 70002"] "I mean, I hear the boos. Everybody needs to come down. They can come down and have my job." Does Patterson even realize how petulant, overly defensive, and self-pitying he sounds like when he makes comments such as these? Nobody can simply "come down" and "have his job" when he makes $5 million/year and he knows it. He's entitled to defend his questionable coaching decisions but why does he have to insult fans who disagree with him while doing so? He acts like he should be immune from criticism. Well, I was a TCU student and a Horned Frog fan long before he even knew what a horned frog was and I'll damn well criticize him when I think he deserves it. The bottom line is that he gets paid to win football games and my beloved Frogs have lost a lot of winnable games in recent years, including four of our five losses this season alone. College football is all about coaching. If a college team consistently loses winnable games, it's on the coaches and not the players. For all his tiresome talk of getting players to "grow up," Patterson has failed to significantly mature himself as a coach over the years. I think he needs to look in one of the mirrors in the mansion that his $5 million/year salary has enabled him to buy and become less prideful and more humble. And do what needs to be done to justify his salary. And I think we all know what that is. The real reason that he let the clock run out with three time-outs at the end of the game yesterday is that he has no confidence in our offense. Of course, nobody does. So, now he should follow Coach O's example at LSU and do something about it. If he does, he'll hear less boos in the future. If he doesn't, he'll continue to hear my boos in the stadium when warranted as his predecessors did and, should God grant me a long life, his successors will as well. Nobody will ever pay me $5 million/year to coach football but nobody will ever take away from me what I do have: an abiding love for my Horned Frogs and a burning desire to see us win. [/QUOTE]
