Patterson Receives National Honor
TCU's head coach has now won 11 National Coach of the Year Awards
ORLANDO, Fla. -- TCU's Gary Patterson has been selected as the recipient of the 2014 Home Depot Coach of the Year Award.
The award will be presented to Patterson on Thursday night in Orlando at the ESPN College Football Awards Show.
Patterson, also the Big 12 Chuck Neinas Coach of the Year, led the Horned Frogs to their first Big 12 championship in just their third season in the conference. TCU was picked seventh in the preseason Big 12 poll.
The Horned Frogs' all-time winningest coach with 131 victories, Patterson has now won six conference championships in three different leagues during his 14 seasons as TCU's head coach.
Patterson has guided the Horned Frogs (11-1) to the 11-win mark for the eighth time in the last 12 campaigns.
Patterson's .744 winning percentage (131-45) ranks fourth among active coaches nationally (minimum 10 years). He is one of just five active coaches with at least 100 victories at their current school. TCU is 29-3 when taking the field as a top-10 team under Patterson, including a 19-1 mark when in the top 5.
The nation's fifth-longest tenured head coach, Patterson has won a total of 11 National Coach of the Year honors at TCU.
TCU faces Ole Miss on Dec. 31 in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
