Gary Patterson out as longtime TCU football coach as sides agree to part ways

[TexasTowelie]

The Gary Patterson era is over at TCU.

The university and its veteran football coach agreed to part ways on Sunday, a day after the Horned Frogs had a demoralizing 31-12 loss at Kansas State.

Jerry Kill, who has served as a special assistant to Patterson for the last two seasons, will serve as the interim coach the final four games of the regular season.

Athletic director Jeremiah Donati will conduct a national search for Patterson’s replacement. SMU’s Sonny Dykes would appear to be the early front-runner for the job.

Whoever the next coach is will be following a legendary coaching figure regarded as one of the top defensive minds of his generation.

2. I keep attempting to persuade my college roommate to apply for one of these job openings

since he has valuable experience managing his fantasy football team.

Odd thing is that he has played in that league for over two decades, but he still hasn't won it.

As far as Sonny Dykes leaving the program.

That would almost bring back the Southwest Conference. Naw. I hate SMU. Just remember W's libary:
