...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.

at this point, i am convinced that the school does everything opposite of what passionate fans want.

we want Patterson, so they won't hire him.
 
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.
 
Remember last go round we looked at randy edsall? We need to look for an ad and pro football president. The current crew sucks at picking winners.
 
Gary Patterson will never coach here.

It sucks because I think he could be a great coach here, but it will never happen.

It's all mental *********ion.
 
Patterson has had opportunity time and time again to leave TCU.

I really don't see him ever leaving there.

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

Similar things were said about Peterson at Boise State. I'm not saying it's going to happen...but you never know.

For the record, I don't think he would leave TCU for Miami but I'd love to be wrong.

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

Edsall and Golden... barf. It's like this school shops for coaches in the bargain bin. Any coach who gets a doormat program to 8 wins automatically piques the interest of the administration. If you're going to get a coach from a small school/doormat big school, at least get one who's actually accomplished something.

I would love to have Patterson here; his S&C program is legendary, and he's done amazing things at TCU. I wish we could do whatever it took to get him in the Gables.

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.
 
Maybe I'm wrong but I wasn't aware Golden was fired or quit... So it would be hard for Patterson to take a job that's not even hiring right now. However I definitely wouldn't mind Patterson but the point is completely moot right now.
