In spite of all his negative points at least GP had the loyalty to not run off when higher dollars presented themselves. Sonny the snake will run at any good offer.

I'm surprised at that, I thought he might be bitter thinking that should be him having
that success, sounds like he would go back if there was ever a chance.

Patterson lost out on the UNLV job to a DC that Arkansas was about to fire. He'd swim through molten lava for another shot in the Big 12.

His rep among administrators is bad for how his last 3-4 years played out internally, and how miserable he made everyone.

Any coach who replaced Patterson would have benefited from the clouds lifting after his departure, and if Sonny were honest I'd bet he'd admit he underestimated that benefit. It's a one-time deal, though.

My guess is he's loyal to players, not the school. My understanding was that his rift with the administration effectively squelched any affection he had for the school itself.
