Is he actually LDS, or just his family?
It’s a lot easier to hire a non-LDS, than an inactive LDS.

Dave McCann mentioned Gary Patterson as a potential DC candidate on SportsNation. That made me chuckle.

LDS coach with strong Texas ties. Kids went to BYU. It's perfect!

I thought just his wife was LDS? Didn’t know his kids when to BYU

As coach at TCU he got the missionaries tickets to football and basketball

I played on his son’s intramural flag football team at BYU. Nice kid.

I kinda dislike Patterson, but he’s an amazing coach. If make him HC over KS

Could be a good hire…he has head coach potential to replace Sitake when he retires.

That could be a great hire. I'd give a call to Rocky Long as well.

Rocky wouldn’t even pick up the phone.

That seems even less likely than Bronco to BYU as DC

If he would take the job, I'd take him in a second.

He converted, but pretty sure he isn't active. Ex-wife is.

Wait, what? Is this all true? Patterson's family is LDS and BYU students? Why...
runnincoug
11/28/22 10:23am
Is he antagonistic towards BYU or is that just CB myth?
molodyets
11/28/22 10:24am
He was when we left. But it was probably sour grapes.
chrisoc13
11/28/22 10:25am
TCU was leaving then too... I don't think he he sour grapes at all... just thought BYU was making a mistake...

I was trying to remember the timeline. They weren't going big 12 yet.
chrisoc13
11/28/22 10:56am
They accepted the invite in November when we announced going to Indy in August.
molodyets
11/28/22 10:57am
To the big 12? Or to the big East?
chrisoc13
11/28/22 11:04am
Big East. Their Big 12 invite came in 2011 and they joined in 2012 instead of joining the Big East that year.
molodyets
11/28/22 11:27am
Yes that's what I remember. And I remember thinking that was why it

Yeah, whoever heard of a part-member family where one spouse was antagonistic toward church institutions.

Well, if I had kids going to a school, I wouldn't publicly badmouth them. E.G.

Link to where Patterson publicly badmouthed BYU
Coug
11/28/22 10:43am
The sour grapes here are from BYU fans mad that TCU got into the Big 12 first adn had a better 5 year run than we did.
molodyets
11/28/22 10:58am
Probably because he coached against BYU and wanted to beat them in sports.

11/28/22 11:27am
these were the rumors I remember too. Kind of an Urban-like attitude towards BYU

Good grief. Dave, if you read the board, that is embarrassing.
kansascougar
11/28/22 10:28am
It was mostly as humor. He admitted it was a pipe dream.

I would kill for his defenses in the past.
chrisoc13
11/28/22 10:36am
Didn't he convert a bunch of running backs into great defensive players?
Tricky
11/28/22 12:29pm
Heavily recruited the track stars from Texas Hs for defense. Then trained them

He’s an Advisor to Sark U Texas football, still lost to TCU…I think he’s got axe

Let him grind that axe with BYU players against TCU

To Gary - TCU is a Nail, and any team playing them is a Hammer! Lol

I mean, if he wants to get back to a head coaching job it would be a good segway.

He is a stud DC. Would be so lucky

He'd be fantastic! If he still has kids at BYU, who knows?
