Gary Patterson lead TCU to a perfect 12-0 as he took home AP caoch of the year
Lets hear it for Gary Patterson for what he has accomplished at Texas Christian University. On Wednesday, Patterson was awarded a much deserved AP coach of the year. Patterson edged out Brian Kelly by receiving 21 first place votes Kelly’s 19. He led TCU to a perfect 12-0 season this year and has them with a date in the Fiesta Bowl against fellow unbeaten Boise State. It is TCU’s first BCS appearance in the history of the program ,and their best season in 70 years. Quite a accomplishment for one of the lesser known schools in Division 1 college football.

TCU dominated opponents all year long. Nine of their twelve victories were by a astounding 25 or more points. When they got you down, they did not let up for even one second. That is a true sign of great coaching which is why he won this award. It is great to see a team like TCU recognized among the traditionally elite in college football. I find it a very refreshing change for college football.
Patterson has been at TCU for nine seasons and has amassed a 85-27 record. In addition to a that impressive accomplishment, he has guided TCU to 11 or more victories in five of the last seven seasons. So you can see this season is no fluke, and he has done a consistent job for this football program. He has TCU going n the right direction and wants them to be mentioned as one of the elite teams in college football year after year.
TCU just missed out on playing for the BCS National Championship as Texas squeaked by Nebraska to end their season. It is a shame, because I think they had a real good chance to knock off Alabama and win the National Championship. What a story that would of been. The Horned Frogs, National Champions! Anyway, Congratulations to Gary Patterson and TCU.
