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.

Rocky is 72

All his kids came to BYU. Has a child at BYU currently.

That seems even less likely than Bronco to BYU as DC

If he would take the job, I'd take him in a second.
Turnpike Lane
11/28/22 10:20am
Is he actually LDS, or just his family?
JOPE
11/28/22 10:21am
He converted, but pretty sure he isn't active. Ex-wife is.
Turnpike Lane
11/28/22 10:22am
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
chrisoc13

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.
runnincoug

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.

I met Gary in 2007. He had strong feelings towards BYU back then. Rumor was
88Coug
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.

11/28/22 10:35am
Is his background as a DC? I don't remember
Dr T-bone

yes

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

Sounds like you have a scarcity mindset.

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

Let him grind that axe with BYU players against TCU
Nat Gas Man

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.
Brisket

He is a stud DC. Would be so lucky

I had no idea Patterson was LDS. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Forzaitalia

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

We should be rolling out the red carpet for him if he were willing to come here
