Any reasons why Gary Patterson would be interested in Nebraska?

[jrhuskerdad]

I was talking with a buddy about the KSU job possibly opening up and that Gary Patterson is a Wildcat alum. We both agreed that Gary wouldn't leave what he's built at TCU, and the fertile recruiting grounds on his doorstep, for a lesser conference opponent in KSU. Of course Nebraska is a better job than KSU, but is it better than TCU? Are there any reasons why Patterson might think about leaving TCU for Nebraska should the job come open? Money? Tradition? Anything else?

he probably wouldnt leave unless its a golden opportunity.

TCU lifer IMO...he's King Frog

 

[RedSea]

Yeah, I don't think he is going anywhere unless things really go south and he gets fired.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. I'm not sure that there's any job he'd leave for if things are going well and he has the support he feels he needs to succeed.

And then at that point he would not be good enough for Nebraska. We do not want to hire a coach that was fired for not being good enough somewhere else.

At this time, Nebraska isn’t as good of a job as TCU.

He actually has a statue in front of their stadium. He’s never leaving TCU.

Could he bring it with him?

If I remember right, years ago when he had just started at TCU, weren't they scheduled to play nebraska and he canceled it because he just didn't think TCU was ready for that? My how times change.

He had an opportunity to leave a few years ago and he stayed. He's at TCU for life. He's their Bob Devaney.

Pretty sure Gary is a tcu lifer. Is 62, Gets 4.7 million a year, has job security for him and his staff and has the school behind his choices.

I live in DFW- Patterson not going anywhere, they have a statue of him just done recently and his wife is a Texan- nuff said. He would definitely be the top of my wish list- you want to talk about bringing in a culture of toughness, he's the man you want
