TCU has to be in a tough spot with Patterson, right?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
He seems a little more on tilt than usual. Might be a candidate to retire.
I know all that he has done for that program but I think it is time to move on from him. Not sure if TCU administration has enough guts to do that though.
He's their Fry/Snyder/Beamer. Its gotta be tough to pull the trigger on that.
Yep, it will be but I think it would probably be for the best for the program right now. Program has gone stale and I'm doubtful that Patterson will get the "mojo" back.
With Texas & OU leaving that maybe will help them a bit in the Big 12 but not sure on that.
I know it's a Message Board after a loss but quite a few "Fire Gary" & "Patterson Sucks" posts on there.

personally think it would be foolish to fire him unless they have an amazing candidate/successor lined up -- guy has had like 2 or 3 losing seasons in 20 years
their 2014 team got robbed and probably would have won the title

I felt like the country music thing was a sign that Patterson was losing focus and exploring other interests as he nears retirement. “Take a Step Back” sort of sums it up.
If they “fire” him, it would be a mutual resignation/retirement. Let’s not have that introduced this season where we play then the last week.
You just know that's how it will play out though. "Win one for Gary!" with ISU's championship aspirations hanging in the balance.
Remember how much latitude KSU got against ISU the year Snyder "retired", be ready for that.
people forget that tcu is not a powerhouse historically -- gary has the best winning percentage since francis schmidt (1929 - 1933)
most the records in between when gary started and 1933 are .500 and below
if their big cigars have someone lined up who is young and they're confident in (like a stoops -> lincoln riley deal), I don't think it would be a horrible idea to make a move, but historically speaking there's a bigger chance of potential downside than upside -- unless they luck out with the right guy

Didn't ISU play Colorado the week Hawkins was fired? Or Weiss at Kansas? When a coach is removed during the season the team tends to come out swinging in that next game.
Luckily ISU is better than that and TCU is very beatable so ISU will have it on themselves to rise up and play well.
