The point is he is 49-39 AT TCU. They wouldn't be anywhere close to that with anyone else If they dump him, they are dumping themselves right to the bottom of the conference. So I hope they do.DanaDane said:

Gary Patterson gets paid top 10 money to field a top 50 team.PartyBear said:
I hear the guy regarding the off field incidents involving assault etc. but he sounds like the real argument is that Patterson isn't winning enough. Patterson's program has won 70% of its games over past 20 and a half seasons. If the argument is that he is t winning enough that is asinine. Patterson has this guy thinking like a UT guy. TCU has no business firing someone with a .700 winning pct. over 2 decades on the grounds they aren't winning enough.

Is he still Mormon? Thought I read he knocked up a coed when he coached at Utah St and married her and converted d to LDS.
Then divorced her when he got to TCU.
He also funded the Fort Worth youth symphony. Sometthing Art Briles never grasped.CougarFrog said:
Gary became a Mormon while married to his first wife. Gary and his 1st wife divorced and he remarried after he came to Ft. Worth.
Gary's kids went to BYU.
In the pre-B12 days, Gary would comp 150 LDS missionaries when BYU played at TCU. He had some contact with the local LDS church but didn't attend ever.
While in the MWC, Gary kept a BYU helmet on the tackling dummies year round, except during the season when they had a different opponent that week. This was a little strange as Utah was an equal foe and had similar success against TCU. The 08 loss on the final play at Utah sent Utah to the Sugar Bowl instead of TCU. As such, the anger towards BYU was more than on the field competition.
Yes they would be and unless there are off field issues that are really bad, I'm sure they (the administration) dont have any interest at this time in parting ways and trying to find someone else. Furthermore it would probably take Patterson stringing together several consecutive mediocre seasons before they felt it was in their interest to do so. I suspect most ADs would probably say the most stressful part of their job is hiring a new football coach because their own tenure rides on it. I doubt most ADs enjoy doing that.Harrison Bergeron said:
My first thought: who is Matt Jennings and why does anyone care what the thinks?
My second thought: TCU would be crazy to fire Fatterson.

I'm happy to give him credit for some very positive things he's done.
But For every step forward he takes, he seems to take a step back.
FIFY and yes.Stefano DiMera said:
