    Patterson coming to Austin was already a done deal before the TCU game kicked off last season.  CDC really wants you to join our staff Gary. Gary: I'm definitely interested. TCU is star

    He’s not a fucking analyst, why is our fan base this regarded  He will be here, and stay here, until we stop paying semi-retirement. 2 games in and doing a great job. Loving this hire

Prove it. 

Patterson here for a season? I imagine he will be getting a lot of DC offers from others.

Credit to PK then for allowing it then.... No analyst going to change defense on his own right??

It’s not like he has to audition for a DC job. It depends on what he wants to do. This role is pretty cush for a guy who just wants 1 foot in the door.

Yea maybe he just doesn’t want to work that hard and just teach the other guy how to do it. He has dough already.

His wife wants to be in Austin, he’s already rich, I doubt he wants to start recruiting again. I’m sure he really likes his role.

He won’t be an analyst for any longer than just this year

Not really knowing who’s responsible 2 games in was the whole point of my original post. So, thank you.

I don’t think it can be proven either way.  But PK looked like hammered dogshit last year and GP has been a straight killer his whole career. I don’t really care for this year if it’s defense by committee but if someone leaves after this year I hope PK doesn’t let the door hit him in the ass.

Defense was completely lost last year. They just held the reigning Heisman winner to 37 less points than fucking Kansas. That sweaty fat mother fucker is the D whisperer.

TCU defense was hammered dogshit last year. Both have had great defensive careers regardless of last year. So again, who knows. Too early to tell.

All hail King Fatterson!

While we were keeping up with Alabama on defense I kept sitting there in amazement. Then they panned over to Coach Patterson and showed his stats against top 10 teams. It's like a light bulb went off. I forgot we had him. No wonder we are so good on D.

Except that GP's defense was also hammered dogshit last year, statistically worse than ours, which is what got him fired

Goddamn man this looked like a for-real Texas defense out there, and that’s even with the gaps in recruiting…

They could tackle and pressure the qb and even mostly stop the run.

He has one job to do. What in his 20 + years makes you think he sucks as a coordinator

This...It almost has to be Patterson's influence.  No way PK turned it around this much on his own.  Patterson was roaming the sideline like a man on fire.  Looked like he was celebrating "his" plan working...

“No way an analyst turned it around this much on his own, regardless of his track record.” <—also sounds idiotic. Probably a joint effort. Whatever it is glad it’s happening. Keep Kansas below 20

Give Gary all the towels he needs.

Coach Robinson says Hello...Old experienced coaches can turn shit around fast.  Patterson has been on campus long enough to make a difference, and it does not seem PK or Sark has tried to shackle him into just being an analyst from Sark's comments to the media.

Yea we’re on the same page?

What is wild is that Phatterson is working with better recruits on the Texas team than any of his TCU ones. He has been recruiting for shit the last few years because NIL and shit but here at Texas, he can work with decent players and run his schemes with this talent level.

Ok it’s got to be his show. He doesn’t even mention PK!

For a guy who according to reports from TCU despises the portal, NIL, and what recruiting has become… a (obv highly paid) role like “special assistant to the head coach” where all he has to do is lock himself in a room and cook up a defense seems what Patterson is looking for at this point. 

Edited by Dutch

No one outside the program knows for sure, but I have a feeling Patterson had A LOT to do with Texas’ performance today.  Regardless, this will no doubt be a talking point henceforth, and if that is indeed the case then Patterson should get whatever he wants going forward be it at Texas or elsewhere

Nah. Csb. I have a mutual friend with Patterson. He has no desire to be a head coach again. Hates nil and transfer. Has all the money he needs and loves Austin. He may be DC next year if sark cuts ties with pk but loves what he's doing and loves sark and is content putting his thumbprint on what could be a great run /csb.

Where do I send my send my $9.95?

Don’t get my hopes up. Sark and GP would be a complementary and a very badass duo.

Dumbass, Patterson's TCU defense was worse than Kwiatkowski's Texas defense last year.

Hahahahahaha. 
He’s no assistant. You’ve obviously never met him. He’s an alpha dog and UT should be happy for having him this single year. He’ll be HFC at Nebraska or somewhere else next year.

So they were both terrible last year but what you’re telling me is you have more faith in PK than GP?  You really are a dumb cunt.  You’d rather keep PK than GP?

I have,  but that was like 40 years ago. I was a little kid. Guess we will see. Just going off what I've been told from someone who knows him well.

Yes, we’ll see. I’m not a personal friend of his or anything, but have been around him for a while. He has multiple national COY awards, top-10 finishes, and tons of other hardware. He’s hugely respected in the top tiers of coaching circles. He is quite used to being the top dog, and doesn’t have the personality to defer to others (that’s what led to the end at TCU). 

I don’t know why he agreed to do this rehab assignment at UT, but UT should be very grateful he did. I can’t imagine he’ll be doing anything but another HFC gig next year. Nebraska seems like the perfect fit.

They even mentioned going into the game that Patterson had been working on a game plan for a few weeks and he felt pretty good about it.

My heart wants to believe this is true. I’m gonna run with it.

My head says you're 100% correct. I just hope it's wrong. 

It’s possible he wanted to chill out a bit before he dies of a heart attack . Maybe it makes the wife happy. He is in a pretty sweet spot here.

Dude just loves breaking down game film and schemes. If you ever saw him on the coaches film room during the playoffs you could tell he knows his shit. I'm sure this is an easy money job that he really enjoys

Sark seems to be pretty well liked and respected in the coaching community and hope it leads to many more "retired" coaches stopping in for a tour or two.

I just don't understand why people have such a hard time believing that a 62-year-old man who's made his fortune couldn't possibly be interested in a lower stress, lower responsibility role that has great fringe benefits (like living in Austin) for the last few years of his career.

People do it all the time.

If the defense really improves this year what are the chances that PK is offered a head coaching job somewhere. Even rice could offer him more than he’s making now. People on this board say he doesn’t like recruiting or isn’t good at it. What are the chances both leave? I don’t know either of their personalities at this point of their lives. That could be a weird scenario.
