Declined. Gary had stuck with bad assistant coaches and refused to adapt.

Gary also seemed to not be focused on football as much.

Gary hated NIL and the transfer portal, and didn't want to adapt.

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

he technically is but has never really been aactive.

molodyets

11/28/22 10:24am

this is what I understood as well

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.

BYU Fan

11/28/22 10:15am

Rocky wouldn’t even pick up the phone.

LeGrandBleu

11/28/22 10:17am

"Rocky, come home to Provo!"

BYUtka

11/28/22 10:19am

Rocky is 72

JOPE

11/28/22 10:22am

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

BYUtka

i had no idea

Kale

11/28/22 10:21am

That seems even less likely than Bronco to BYU as DC

ldssdl

11/28/22 1:26pm

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...

Coug

11/28/22 10:37am

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

11/28/22 1:29pm

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

kccougar

11/28/22 10:28am

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

runnincoug

11/28/22 10:30am

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.

Turnpike Lane

11/28/22 10:29am

All true as far as having family that are members and kids at BYU. Played on his

11/28/22 11:27am

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

runnincoug

11/28/22 11:50am

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.

HuskerFan2

11/28/22 10:35am

Is his background as a DC? I don't remember

Dr T-bone

11/28/22 10:30am

yes

Turnpike Lane

11/28/22 10:34am

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

Nat Gas Man

11/28/22 12:47pm

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

SwanSong

11/28/22 11:01am

Let him grind that axe with BYU players against TCU

Nat Gas Man

11/28/22 12:48pm

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

SwanSong

11/28/22 12:57pm

Hilarious, but man that’d be sweet.

Penske Material

11/28/22 11:24am

Watching CB react would be sweet.

HuskerFan2

11/28/22 12:41pm

Wow...

moabmax

11/28/22 11:46am

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

Brisket

11/28/22 12:23pm

He is a stud DC. Would be so lucky

Lombardi

11/28/22 12:42pm

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

Forzaitalia

11/28/22 12:51pm

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

Coug Dude

11/28/22 1:02pm

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

dixieutahbyuzag

11/28/22 1:42pm

And very familiar with the big 12. Even getting him on staff for 1-2 years would

Transfer portal has shifted lots of power back to the players. Lots of coaches
