Ex TCU Coach Gary Patterson Has Been Hired By Texas
The Longhorns have added one of the best defensive minds in college football to their staffAUSTIN -- After an up and down season on the field, the Texas Longhorns have been reshaping both their roster and their coaching staff, and have now possibly made the biggest addition yet.
On Tuesday night, former TCU head coach Gary Patterson was seen at the Longhorns men's basketball game vs. Kansas State in a suite alongside Horns athletic director Chris Del Conte -- decked out in burnt orange.
And now, according to a report from Horns247, Patterson has indeed been hired by the university and was on campus getting his ID and key card.
Just last week, a job opening for the role of special assistant to the head coach appeared on the Texas employment boards, leading many to believe the job was created for Patterson himself.
Patterson's role will not include any on-field coaching responsibilities, though he will be an integral part of the Longhorns strategy building going forward.
