Probably pushed out the door but who knows? He took a mediocre team and made them into a household name. He did things the right way. Added another ride to the coaching carousel.

He's a defensive coordinator by trade...
 
He lost the team about a year ago...as a coach, no matter how close you think you are to your players, there are some words you absolutely cannot use toward your players or about your players.

He did have a nice run for a while. Kind of surprising but they hadn't had the same success for a while.
 
They have PLENTY of money, but they are just quiet about it. My son and daughter in law went to TCU.
They weren't very strong for years...Patterson was very good for them up until last year.
Oh yeah most definitely. They were paying Patterson in the area of $6 million.

I believe their first move is to go after Sonny Dykes but that can almost be considered a lateral move especially if SMU makes the next round of Big 12 expansion.
