Colleges catching up to Gary Patterson’s ‘Moneyball’ methods

A longtime, active NFL player personnel director told me, “Coaches have caught up to your guy in Fort Worth.”

Pretty sure he wasn’t talking about Pat Green but rather TCU football coach Gary Patterson.

These are not alternative facts, either. (BTW: I am thrilled with a Trump presidency because of the endless material).

The personnel director was paying GP a compliment, and assessing a change in the landscape of high school football player acquisition ... sorry, student-athlete acquisition. It’s a testament to the man’s ability to maximize talent, but the increase of “player personnel” jobs on college football staffs is a worrisome trend for GP and every single TCU fan.
