Agreed. A bit of narcissism started to set in with more guitar and less coaching. Starts when losing easy games wasn't his fault...which meant 7-5 wasn't either...and when 5-7 became him saying the players shouldn't quit and he was untouchable, he was just delusional. If Boykin wasn't around, he'd have been done in 2015.
At least they didn't lose by going for two trying to go ahead by 3 in the waning moments of the 4th quarter...
This also strikes me as very passive aggressive and trying to boast without really boasting.Get the credit?
For a loss?
Careful, it might be another song.
"Just lose by 1, baby!"
His eyes hv been opened and sees some errors that were made. Mainly he refused to adapt. (that is a four paragraph story w/n itself). From direct sources, Gary is conflicted with the idea of being a HC again. He really wants to make a difference with UT's defense not so much as its UT but for personal ego and pride! Patterson is a good man but complicated to the bone. (I'd bet most head coaches are esp if your a P5 HC. At this point, I really think he's wanting just to go w/ it and see what happens. His personnal life has changed little except he is no longer a football coach and is engaged in mastering other teams offenses as an associate of the staff. BTW, he has three grandkids, all sons. Two of three are twins with little doubt of the family blood lines. Keith, one of the twins is so outgoing (sooo 100%) and has a quick mind. He and his brother are in pre-school and I'd love to tell you a story about Keith when each student had to get up and 'talk show and tell. It caught Keith off guard but in an instance he had it handled with a few blushes from his teacher. His Mom, an ex soccer star w TCU is doing a whale of a job raising those three Patterson's.
Yeah this is a bad look
He didn’t say he was fired ‘for cause’ as a contractual term of art. He said it’s not like he wasn’t fired without cause. Perhaps an unhappy turn of phrase but easily understood to mean the University had good reasons to let GP go. If we’re going to parse words we may as well do it correctly.
I am going to laugh when we run a flea flicker and score a TD on the first play of the game against UT.
I would have said that the first score would be on a fake punt, but I guess Gary doesn't coach the special teams.
You're perfectly free to not readem if you don't likem.
Strange that Saban didn't know about GP/UT but even if he had, would he have run over to find GP and give him a big hug? That ego is one reason GP is at Texas......with what's going on currently regarding OU/UT leaving the conf. early, we may not see UT again in the Carter in our lifetimes. Need to take him and UT down, cannot miss this opportunity. If we win, hopefully Dykes seeks him out and gives him a big hug.
