Gary Patterson’s parents gave him a game plan for life. They’re gone, but he fights on

TCU coach Gary Patterson has won 163 football games in his career. He’s known as one of the best coaches in college football.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said last month that Patterson is a “Hall of Fame” coach. Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury, one of the bright offensive minds in today’s game, described Patterson as “a phenomenal defensive coach.”

There’s already a statue of Patterson outside Amon G. Carter Stadium.

Patterson reflected back on the roots of what got him to the pinnacle of the sport on Tuesday.
