Not surprising but shocking that he is out before the end of the season.

Apparently TCU wanted GP to coach through the remainder of the season. Gary declined.

Not surprised they wanted to move on from Patterson as head coach. He's embarrassed himself and the school too many times in recent years and his melt down after SMU won in Ft Worth for the 2nd time in 3 years was epic. TCU has become a very mediocre football program once again. We'll see if they make a run at Sonny to try and rebuild the program. They are certainly in a position to offer more than SMU in terms of both pay and conference standing and Ft Worth is a bit of a hybrid Dallas/Lubbock

His players deserve better than that after all the millions Patterson has earned while wearing purple.

His ego apparently won't allow him to stay on with TCU and retire in a different capacity so my guess is he becomes a DC for someone
