Gary Patterson Spotted at Texas Game, Comments on Coaching Rumors
Expect to see Gary Patterson in Austin this fall.
The former TCU coach was spotted sitting with Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte on Tuesday as the Longhorns hosted Patterson's former school on the hardwood, further intensifying rumors that Patterson will join Texas's football staff in the near future.
The Austin American-Stateman's Brian Davis reported Tuesday that Patterson was expected to serve as a special assistant to football coach Steve Sarkisian, a job title he could officially hold ”any day now.”
Patterson deflected from fully embracing his soon-to-be new program on Tuesday night, noting ”nothing's official,” per Davis.
