Few major conference coaches do a better job of identifying diamonds in the rough than TCU’s Gary Patterson. It started early in his tenure in Fort Worth, when GP was forced to look in every small town and turn over every rock looking for the type of athlete that could play in his then unusual 4-2-5 defense and was willing to be a part of a nomadic program that at one point was a part of three different conferences in a five year span. Patterson became adept at turning offensive sleepers into defensive stars, signing a slew of small school QBs and running backs and turning them into all conference defensive ends, linebackers, and safeties.
