Gary Patterson

[ChiefTenBeers2015]

Is he still on Sarkisan’s staff at Texas? What happened at TCU to warrant an exit? Is he looking to coach again?  Could Patterson coaching the now truly Mean Green of the future eventually lead to his successor Dykes Jr in ‘33 at the helm in Denton?

Not going to happen

Lol thats an interesting first post. Id like UNT to atleast reach out to Patterson just to see if there is absolutely any chance hes interested. Then, when he inevitably says no, you immediately move to your next target

I would have a hard time believing he would want anything more than what he’s got now.  Still involved in the rush of the game.  Still eyes/input on X O. Still opportunities to impact lives.  No recruiting. No late nights sleeping in his office.  No media obligations.

I totally disagree.  Gary misses the grind.  Guys like Gary don't do well in the background.

Is this an assumption, or do you have some kind of personal connection?

He told his players it wouldn’t matter if they complained about him to the higher ups because he was untouchable, well, turns out he wasn’t.

What happened to warrant an exit: While his schemes were still mostly succesful, his culture approach had started to be out of sync with the current generation of student-athletes. As a consequence the on the field effort wasn't always what it oughta be. Also he might not have seemed that in love with some of the new requirements in recruiting. Some of that gets alleviated when you have UT NIL money to throw around, maximal staffing, and don't have to make all the HC executive decisions and recruiting frontman stuff

And his records declined towards the end…

Paterson did not like the idea of the Portal.

Great minds think alike.  DeepGreen does not like the idea of the Portal.

Sure. I am not a fan of the idea either in general. But if I or you don't like it that has little to no consequences for the on the field product and nobody will fire us from our positions as fans. Whether the HC likes it or doesn't, it still IS now part of his job, so he needs to handle it well, otherwise he will get passed by and lose a lot of talent. Not adapting to the portal sadly makes you unqualified to be an FBS head coach in this day and age.
