Surprised he's not suing the DB for letting him catch the ball.

Tcu has countered that the doctors are independent contractors therefore the school should be removed from the lawsuit since they are not employed by tcu

not going to fly (at least as a complete defense) because they have also alleged intentional torts by Patterson and others who could be held liable individually for that intentional conduct

........haha, they're already worried. In today's media age stuff like this can get legs quickly.

......and Fatterson sweating profusely! Great coach, but let's put a microphone in his face and ask him point blank if he did any of the things Listenbee is accusing him of....or whether Listenbee is a liar?

Isn’t there film of him yelling at that doctor during the other time he wanted a concussed player back in the game?

.......'Catalon suffering from debilitating headaches'. "We know the truth bro" :shock:

Wonder how many times Patterson embarrassed him, or 'encouraged' him to return to the field earlier than he should have?

Probably, but he yells constantly throughout games, whether his team is winning or losing.

Could have been "PUT HIM BACK IN THE GAME!" or maybe "WHERE CAN I 6-FOOT HOAGIE AFTER THE GAME?"

You never know.

What?!! A football coach yelling at someone on the sideline? What'll someone come up with next?

Sorry Coach Patterson, it is not that you were yelling but what you were yelling.

Hard to imagine a more disgusting head coach pair than Fatterson and Dixon.

Although I guess Dantonio and Izzo might be a bit ahead of the tcu clowns.

i know someone that sometimes works the sideline chains for the officiating crew...and he says Patterson is one of the very worst as far as cursing and demeaning his players.

old school coach but hard to argue how successful their program has been under him. Will be interesting to see if this litigation affects their recruiting going forward
