Gary Patterson could now play a key role in spoiling what has been a perfect season so far for fourth-ranked TCU.
FORT WORTH, Texas — Gary Patterson could now play a key role in spoiling what has been a perfect season so far for After having as good a run as any Big 12 coach in whipping Texas over the past decade while still in purple, there is that startling contrast of Patterson being in burnt orange and on the opposite side of the team that he led to its last undefeated season.
Patterson is certainly a focal point for Saturday’s game, even though he is in a non-coaching role as a special assistant for Steve Sarkisian at No. 18 Texas and can’t directly interact with players. Sarkisian insisted nothing has been different this week for Patterson, who does advance scouting and shares his findings and thoughts with the Longhorns defensive staff. with 181 victories over 21 seasons, after three years as their defensive coordinator. There is a statue on the Fort Worth campus of Patterson, whose tenure included a 13-0 season in 2010 that ended with a Rose Bowl victory and a No. 2 national ranking.
Alan Ali, the senior center who came from SMU to TCU with Dykes, didn’t play for Patterson. But he got to play against him, and sees some similarities with what the coach did with the Frogs and what Texas is doing now.
