Gary Patterson out as TCU's head coach after 21 seasons

Gary Patterson’s time at TCU has come to an end.

After coaching at TCU for the past 24 years, including 21 seasons as the head coach, the school decided to part ways with Patterson on Sunday. In a statement, TCU athletic director Jeremiah Donati said he and chancellor Victor Boschini asked Patterson to coach for the remainder of the season, but Patterson declined.

"We asked him to continue on as our head coach for the remainder of the season, and take on a different role in 2022, but he believed it was in the team's and TCU's best interests to begin the transition immediately," Donati said.
