LOS ANGELES — Gary Patterson’s statue remains at TCU and in many ways so does his heart.
It’s totally understandable.
For more than two decades, Patterson was the coach who took TCU on a five-conference odyssey that led to the Horned Frogs in the Big 12. Along the journey, he became the winningest coach in school history at 181-79 with 17 bowl appearances. Then he and the school parted ways on Halloween 2021 during a string of subpar seasons.
