Tech could follow TCU’s path to success
DALLAS — Gary Patterson, at age 43, coming off 10-2 and 11-2 seasons, thought he might be the next Lombardi or something.
Except the 2004 season rolled around and his team played lousy defense and went 5-6.
“Then you had to look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘Maybe I wasn’t as good a coach as I thought I was, and maybe (the success) had to do with pretty good players and all the above,’’’ Patterson recalled Monday.
Gary got his groove back, and you know the rest.
