Report: Former TCU Coach Gary Patterson to Join Texas Staff

Former TCU coach Gary Patterson will be joining Texas coach Steve Sarkisian's staff in an off-field role as special assistant to the head coach, according to ESPN's Chris Low.

Patterson was spotted sitting with Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte on Tuesday as the Longhorns hosted Patterson's former school on the hardwood.

The Austin American-Stateman's Brian Davis first reported on Tuesday that Patterson was expected to join the Longhorns program.

Texas will bring in Patterson following the coach's two-decade stint with the Horned Frogs. Patterson posted a 181–79 record with TCU from 2000–21, tallying 10-plus wins 11 times.
