SADLY: Former TCU Football head coach Gary Patterson joins….

 Former TCU Football head coach Gary Patterson joins Baylor staff

Another unimaginable event is about to happen, so check your pigs for wings and bring the devil a parka. As first reported by sicem365.com, head coach Dave Aranda of the Baylor Bears is adding former TCU head coach Gary Patterson as Senior Level Strategic Consultant to his team. Patterson is a longstanding rival.

After serving as defensive coordinator for two seasons, Gary Patterson became the head football coach in 2000 and guided the Horned Frogs to an overall record of 181-79, making him the most successful coach in team history. Overseeing TCU’s transition from the WAC to Conference USA, the Mountain West, and finally the Big 12, Patterson led the Frogs through the chaos of conference realignment. In addition to leading the Frogs to seven Top Ten finishes, Patterson won a Rose Bowl and a Peach Bowl and six conference titles with TCU, including a 2014 Big 12 co-championship with the Bears. Patterson, who won numerous National and Conference Coach of the Year Awards, was honored with a statue outside the newly restored Amon G. Carter building on the TCU campus.

The rivalry between Waco and Fort Worth institutions on the field peaked in the middle of the 2010s, when Art Briles commanded Baylor, which was staffed by offensive coordinator Kendal Briles and strength and conditioning coach Kaz Kazadi. Patterson will be wearing green and gold, while Kendal Briles and Kaz Kazadi will be wearing TCU purple. It has been just over eight years since those staff members’ final fight in a chilly Fort Worth rainstorm in 2015. Maybe it really is a chilly day in Hell and the pigs have really taken to the skies.

On Saturday, November 2, TCU Football will play Coach Patterson and the Baylor Bears in Waco, Texas. In November 2022, TCU defeated Patterson on the opposing sideline in their previous game.
