One of Gary Patterson’s favorite sayings is that people handle failure better than they handle success.
This year, for only the third time at TCU, Patterson had a chance to test that on himself.
“I felt like he was actually pretty positive for the most part,” linebacker Ty Summers said. He stopped, smiled and made sure the reporters at Big 12 Media Day did not misunderstand. “Not positive that it was OK, but positive in that all we can do is go up from here.”
The Horned Frogs were 6-7 last season, only their third losing campaign since Patterson became head coach in time for a bowl game in December 2000.
