Huh. This is an old story being resurrected, but it’s not beyond belief that GP would have considered leaving TCU for Minnesota in 2006, with Power Five dreams seeming so impossible then for the Frogs. But, as we all know, he stayed - and that’s been great for TCU and Fort Worth.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Patterson initially removed his name from consideration but had second thoughts and, with the position still open, contacted Maturi to say he would take the job if offered. It's unclear how that conversation went and if the Gophers actually considered reversing course to hire -- or at least consider hiring -- Patterson.
