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

11/28/22 10:27am

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

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

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

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

11/28/22 2:00pm

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