TCU interim coach Jerry Kill said he will try to uphold Gary Patterson's legacy the rest of the season after taking over at what he called "the house that Gary built."
The school made its coaching change late Sunday afternoon, with Patterson departing immediately. He had led the football program since the 2000 season, going 181-79 with six conference titles in three different leagues, and six AP top-10 finishes.
Kill led a team practice Sunday night. TCU, which is 3-5 this season, will visit Baylor on Saturday.
"Gary said, 'We're going to practice at 5:30,' and I was coaching the team at 5:30," Kill told reporters Tuesday.
