Sources: Gary Patterson a strong candidate at Houston

[Diehard]

It is possible the year at UTerus and now a year off has given him the chance to reflect and think and see how the game has changed and is ready to adapt. He is an Xs and Os genius. Refreshed. Refocused. Surround himself with the right people and strategy and ….

I believe that is exactly what said just few weeks ago.

Best of luck to GP.
He slipped and fell, remained close to the game, & now he’s ready to try again.

Gotta respect that.

Scoop

Absolutely NO WAY!!!

UH is much too progressive to hire an old school coach like GP.

Not going to happen

 

[bp4tcu]

Yeah, it had passed Mack Brown by, too…

Nah, UT just got too big for themselves and wanted a change.

Just got too big for themselves? Just? That's kinda their MO.

They'll hire who Tilman tells them to.

Sounds familiar a hundred miles plus to the north…

Bookmarking this for an “I told you so” opportunity, as I posted UH’s interest in Patterson back in early September after talking with an involved UH alum.

….with an involved UH alum.

Expand on that phrase, please.

That's kind of my point.......

Expand on that phrase, please.

In early September I went to an Astros game with my dad (UH alum) and his friend (also a UH alum). In talking football, my dad’s friend said that should Dana get canned, GP is their main target. I don’t know specifically how involved he is as a booster etc. but I’m sure he himself is closely tied to the sports program or at least is close with others who are.

GP‘s short stint at UT should make him shy away from controlling rich alums.

And how exactly do you coach college football while avoiding all controlling rich alums?

 

[gohornedfrogs]

LOL if this happens.

He is a loser where ever he goes…

 

[Land Frog]

LOL if this happens.

I see this WAY more than hiring Patterson.

Hire a .500 ish coach and get a .500 ish record from your program.
