Gary Patterson told an anecdote during media days about how, when he was first named the head coach of TCU Football, the then-Star Telegram TCU beat reporter questioned whether he could handle the media obligations a program leader is handed. A lot has changed in the 19 years since, as the once somewhat gruff and awkward Coach P has become a media darling and one of the best quotes in the country.
As he opened his 22nd fall football camp at TCU last week, Patterson was every bit the quotable, likable, downright hilarious guy that those around the program have come to love over the course of the past two decades, and had several great lines during his 30+ minute Q&A.
