patterson gets paid a base salary of around 3.5 mill, not included incentives on bowl games and appearance etc..

plus off-the-record funneling from those Texas boosters..

but yeah, miami could DEFINITELY afford him.

How do you know what Miami can and can't afford? B/c they chose to hire guys based on their APR results? Miami has as much money as any other school in the Power-5 to spend if it chose to. Do you not realize how much money Miami has and how easy it would be to pay for a coach?????
 
Interesting thought. I would be ecstatic to hire Patterson but that would require getting rid of the current cumstain occupying the HC office in the Hecht. But yeah it would be a monster hire.

Miami has $. they just don't know how to use it.

They know that they want a clean cut, no problems, perfect graduation team and you don't have to pay 3 million for the type of baby sitter coach that can produce that.
 
Hopefully the football gods will be watching over us when the new president is selected. It may be our only hope of climbing out of the cesspool of mediocrity we are mired in.
 
A few things..

1. Texas isn't going to beat TCU this weekend. (Though anything is possible)

2. TCU is willing to spend more money than Miami. (See the stadium they just rebuilt as well as other facilities and coaches salary)

3. Patterson doesn't want to leave TCU and believe he can win there. Why else would he have never left.

4. DFW is talent rich and if he can put a good run together the next few years he may be able to change the perception similar to how Schnelly did it at Miami.

Wow. Tell us about this funneling or is it more "hear-say"?

Interesting thought Franchise. Paterson has turned down many offers but maybe he could be our next JJ. Good coach who could not get the horses to bet the big boy on the block. In JJ's case it was Barry and OU. Only thing is TCU is religious school. I don't know if that plays into Patterson prior resistance to leaving. If it did, there might be no chance.

You never really know with any sort of certainty who was offered what jobs in the past and why they turned them down or if they turned them down. You hear a lot of stuff floated, but the great majority of it is fake info floated by agents to get their clients raises.

I'm sure Patterson has had some offers, but I don't know if they were from UM level programs. I know KSU wanted him after they fired Prince, and he was all set to take that gig, but it fell through at the last minute for some reason. Other than that, I don't know who actually offered him the HC gig at their school.

If you listen to some accounts, you'd think Folden has turned down a million other offers including Ped State, when we know that he hasn't.

I hope you are right. Dude should be able to kill it here. It certainly would be an exciting hire. I am assuming he would bring broom and sweep staff clean. We would lose a couple guys most of us would rather keep, but probably worth it. Maybe he would keep some of the key locals for recruiting. I'm all for it; just doubt the idiots in charge share the same vision we do.

...Pay close attention to the Texas/TCU game this Thursday.

If Chaz Strong does what I think he might do to TCU, don't be surprised to see Coach Patterson have an epiphany. He might sit back after that game and think to himself that if Strong can do what he's done at Texas in one year, then he's going to make it THAT much harder for little TCU to make noise in recruiting and, more importantly, to compete for Big 12 and college football NCs.

TCU has thrived on UT being down for the last few years. TCU never has had and never will have the pick of the litter in recruiting. Strong is going to bring Texas back to powerhouse status, and that will choke TCU out.

Might be time for him to make a move to a program where he can recruit the top players right in his backyard and kick *** and win NCs. That program is UM. This Texas/TCU game could be a turning point in his future depending on how it plays out. If Texas wins or battles to the end this early in Strong's tenure look out.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the pool of recruits that TCU draws from is different than Texas'.

TCU gets all the leftovers that Texas, Texas AM, Oklahoma and even Oklahoma State don't want. They are 2 and 3 star heaven.

I don't understand your first statement, because your 2nd is dead-on. TCU has always exceled with the scraps. That isn't going to change. If you are saying that now that UT has a competent HC and will actually start winning with thet 4/5 star talent and TCU won't be able to compete, I'd say that will still be a few years before that happens.
