I don’t get it. He’s a multiple national COY, and was great in the studio in those coaches’ room broadcasts. Why would he sign up to be an assistant, in any capacity, to Sark?  He could easily sit out a year, collect some nice cash from Mouse, and get a decent HFBC gig next year. 

Not to mention he can focus on his country music career

  • 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 tie

    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

I still contend keeping PK after last season is the same as Strong keeping Shawn Watson. Results speak for themselves and Patterson should take over the D

The O also sucked Sark should fire himself too

Watson had no previous success at other stops and was hated from day one. 

Not saying that PK did an acceptable job last year, but they are vastly different circumstances. Continuity in the system could potentially help instead of trying to reach a 4th scheme in 4 consecutive years. If it doesn’t work then, we know he’s getting the axe. 

With PK, I expect the same results. The defense was fucking terrible and I just don’t know where the patience comes from. We didn’t show improvement. We lost to Kansas because they scored 50+ on us with a 3rd string QB in our own stadium. This wait and see garbage just means another 5 loss or more season 

Interesting job just posted. Anyone planning to apply?

An apology:

Many of our posts about the former TCU coach were designed to stimulate discussion amongst Surly viewers who choose to participate. While we never intended to hurt anyone, we acknowledge that some of our posts have gone too far in regards to referencing the character, weight and intelligence of former TCU coach Gary Patterson.

We would like to apologize to anyone that may have been offended by these posts. We are very, very sorry and we know that we can do much better. Character, weight, sweatiness and intelligence remain serious issues in America today and our intention as never to hurt anyone or any coach. We know that we have a lot to learn and we need to do better in reaching out to the Gary Patterson community.

We must stop denying the existence of individual and systemic/institutional coach hatred in America. These issues exist, and are still at work to keep former TCU coaches marginalized. Thank you and again, we are very, very sorry.

Eagerly anticipating the LHN commercial featuring  Shipley and Fatterson crooning a duet. 

Maybe they're ousting him in charge of nacho cheese development.

Fat Pat needs to be playing on a boat with Colt chucking balls at him

Whatever it takes to get him on board... need someone who has enough respect and little trouble telling it how it is being a voice in our coaches heads and an "I told you so" in their ears.

Hope this works out like when Mack hired former Arizona HC Toomy many years ago.

It could be. But PK had at least some level of recent success as DC. Shawn Watson ate diarrhea sandwiches at every OC position he’s ever had.

Hey, dude, don't rag on Watson; he was recently promoted all the way up to offensive assistant at Northern Iowa. Don't you know that Bradley, Drake, and Valparaiso are quaking in their collective boots right about now?

100%. It's the standard pattern of fire the assistant after year 1, coordinator after year 2, and then the HC will be fired after year 3.

It's missing a sweat towel. Otherwise, perfect representation of the oaf.

Come on man you can’t expect us to out talent the third string quarterback from Kansas, and some no-name Walk on who had never played a single down for Kansas.

Eric looks like he wants to steal the wires out of your hunting camp to sell to scrappers so he can buy meth.

I mean look at those pearls of wisdom. Who knew he was an offensive guru as well???

It’s probably causing a burning sensation in his chest. That could also be a coronary.

we should break new ground and designate a special sideline coaching position tasked with lighting up the refs

Head coach in waiting

Honestly a fresh start after a few years of rest could prime GP for a big run at a school like Texas .

Have to imagine CDC has this as his worst of backup plans if Sark fails.

honestly a low key power move from CDC and I'm mildy impressed to have a competent forward thinking AD in place. 

 

 

His petty bitterness toward TCU must be off the fuckin charts.

He’s 21-22 in his last four seasons, quitting at 3-5 in his final season. The idea of a Gary Patterson head-coaching hire several years ago might have made me mildly enthusiastic. Now? Not so much.

Edited by South Austin

Yes.  I can’t fucking wait for Fatterson to be head coach except for the fact that he just lost to a 5 and 7 Texas team.  Yes please make him the HC in waiting.  What a great idea.  Listen he can be DC and that’s it.  Period.

To be fair, mediocrity before resigning midseason is the kind of resume that gets the HC job at Texas.

You may think so. I couldn't possibly comment.

why does everyone think this means PK is out?

I don’t think he is in year one. But he may develop a bad crick in his neck from looking over his shoulder if the D stays the same.

I dont think PK is out. I do think that Sark will not let the defense drag him into the unemployment line and is doing a smart thing having a backup option on staff. There should be some pretty tangible improvement this year on defense in both personnel and scheme. My two open questions are wtf are we doing or not doing at linebacker, and will PK and Joseph get on the same page with complimentary coverages that are more aggressive now that Watts, Brooks, and Allen are here.
