Gary Patterson Fired!

Breaking: Gary Patterson and #TCU are parting ways immediately. The #Frogs longtime head coach will not finish the season.
@JDonati_TCU
will start the search for a new football coach.

 

Now that’s news. Thanks.

 

You apparently scooped the major networks. Kudos!

 

It’s time for the Sonny Dykes sweepstakes.

 

Wonder if the brawl during the K-State game had anything to do with it?

 

I wondered the same thing.

 

From CBS sports.

TCU, Gary Patterson mutually part ways after coach led Horned Frogs for 22 seasons

 

Seems BS to do it mid-season to a good coach.

 

I wouldn’t think so. I believe that as the rumors has suggested, TCU was ready to move on. I think they may want Dykes and because Tech fired Wells, if that’s who they want, they needed to clear the deck so to speak.

 

Matt Wells is available. Damn TCU is stupid.

 

Donati (sp) has all the BMDs in his hip pocket

 

So is Charlie Strong and Tom Herman.

 

They get my vote

 

Jus saw that. Patterson per one reports, was offered a position as Athletic Director - Football Operations, but he requested that the termination be immediate and a complete severance with TCU.

 

Man, the guy on the forum we have always said did more with less is now gone.

 

TCU forgets who they are.

So spoiled with their successes.

i’m too lazy to look it up but I would wager Gary Patterson has put them in more AP 25 poll finishes and top 10 finishes than in the entire history of the program combined before he got there.

I’m not a Gary Patterson fan but the entitlement and arrogance here is just amazing. I’m looking forward to TCU wandering in the wilderness for a good long while.

 

That sounds like Patterson

 

It would be funny if he wound up at tech

Kansas, k state or tech? If I were him I'd retire to a fox or ESPN gig

 

Let him come here. Within 5 games he will go from "good coach" to "stupid sack of **** who can't get it done".

 

True that.

 

I think he's reached the point where he's ready to hang it up. Everyone gets to that point, he's 61 and the last 20 years have been very intense.

 

Wow, I am seriously surprised and shocked by this decision and the timing? Patterson has done so much for that program.

He was the King of FW for a long while....

I know frogs have struggled the last couple of years but seriously who ya'll gonna get that is better than GP?

 

Unless they truly have a plan in place this is Tech firing Mike Leach level of stupid.

Patterson built that program & their expectations. Mack Brown tried to play this card when he left but was wrong. In Patterson‘s case it’s actually true. He built the expectation.

 

Is there a recruit we might want that might change his mind?

 

Hope it doesn't end up tech. Then it would be them we would get beat by. Lol

 

Maybe a guy or two on their current roster, WR- Johnson, big receiver we can use.
DE- Mathus, pass rusher we desperately need.

 

Rumor has it, they want Traylor, that would be a great hire, but agree with you, who to get better than GP?

 

What I've read is Traylor is TT first choice but he'd prefer TCU job. That explains the timing.

 

I saw that Traylor signed a $28 million contract extension....thank goodness
Don't want to see him at TCU
