The name “Gary Patterson” doesn’t necessarily conjure the image of a college football coach. “Bob Stoops” or “Mack Brown” sound like guys that strike fear and admiration into the hearts of 18 year-olds in Texas.
Meet Gary Patterson, The Best Football Coach In The Country
↵“Gary Patterson” sounds like your next-door neighbor, the one who’s way too excited about his new lawnmower, and always gives you a disturbingly cheerful hello when you’re passing by. What’s his deal, anyway?
↵It’s unclear, but you should get to know the name, because this “Gary Patterson” just might be the best coach in the country. The Associated Press thinks so:
↵↵TCU’s Gary Patterson was voted The Associated Press College Football Coach of the Year for leading the Horned Frogs to a perfect regular season and their first BCS appearance.
↵In a close vote released Wednesday, Patterson received 21 votes from the AP college football poll panel to edge Brian Kelly. The former Cincinnati coach, now with Notre Dame, received 19 votes and Alabama’s Nick Saban got 14 votes.
↵↵In addition to this season’s impressive haul, TCU’s had at least 10 wins in four of the past five seasons. Considering the handicaps they face, wedged between Texas and Oklahoma, that’s a pretty staggering statistic. And if this year’s any indication, it’s only getting better for the Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs.
↵You may not know the name yet, but you will soon. He’s got a great foundation at TCU, and whether it happens there or elsewhere, it seems he’s headed for big things. He’s Very Important.
