Coach Gary Patterson out at TCU after 20 years, as Horned Frogs continue to struggle in Big 12

Gary Patterson is out at TCU after 20 years as coach of the Horned Frogs, the school announced on Sunday night.

In meeting with the longtime coach Sunday, school officials asked Patterson to finish this season, but he declined. Instead, Patterson, who coached in the Horned Frogs' 31-12 loss at Kansas State on Saturday, will be replaced by Jerry Kill, an assistant on his staff, on an interim basis for a team that is 3-5 overall and 1-4 in the Big 12 this season.

"The story of Gary Patterson and the rise in the fortunes of the TCU football program over the last 20 years is clearly one of the most remarkable in the history of college football. We are grateful to Gary and Kelsey Patterson and appreciate everything they have meant to TCU and the Fort Worth community," athletic director Jeremiah Donati said in a statement Sunday night. "Under his leadership, TCU has become a nationally recognized brand name in football and in collegiate athletics."

Patterson was the second-longest tenured active head coach in the FBS, trailing only Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, who took over in 1999.

STATEMENT FROM ATHLETICS DIRECTOR JEREMIAH DONATI:

“The story of Gary Patterson and the rise in the fortunes of the TCU football program over the last 20 years is clearly one of the most remarkable in the history of college football. We are grateful to Gary and Kelsey Patterson and appreciate everything they have meant to TCU and the Fort Worth community. Under his leadership, TCU has become a nationally recognized brand name in football and in collegiate athletics. Chancellor (Victor) Boschini and I met with Coach Patterson today and mutually agreed that the time has come for a new voice and leadership in our football program. We asked him to continue on as our head coach for the remainder of the season, and take on a different role in 2022, but he believed it was in the team’s and TCU’s best interests to begin the transition immediately. We respect Coach Patterson’s perspective and will move forward in that direction. I’ve asked Jerry Kill to serve as interim head coach, and he has accepted the role for the remainder of the season. Coach Patterson will assist TCU in the transition to take place.”

After competing — and being robbed of — a playoff spot in the inaugural College Football Playoffs in 2014 ......:lol: and playing for a Big 12 Championship in 2017,

He did have a great run at TCU going 181-79, 113-59.



He's under contract for over $6M per year, and his contract goes through 2024; he'll probably get a nice "severance package".
