Gary Patterson (born February 13, 1960 in Larned, Kansas) is a college football head coach. He is currently the head coach at Texas Christian University. Patterson played football at Dodge City Community College and Kansas State University.

Early coaching career

Patterson began his coaching career in 1982 at Kansas State, as an assistant to head coach Jim Dickey. After subsequently serving a number of years as an assistant coach at a number of different schools, Patterson was hired as Defensive Coordinator at the University of New Mexico in 1996. He served in that job for two years before leaving to take the same position at TCU in 1998. He was named head coach at TCU prior to the Mobile Alabama Bowl in December 2000, replacing Dennis Franchione who left to become the head coach at the University of Alabama.

Head coaching career

In seven years at TCU, Patterson's 62 victories place him in third place on the TCU career victory chart, and he is the only coach in school history to record four 10-win seasons. His teams have only failed to reach a bowl game once (2004), the Frogs have earned a spot in the Final Top 25 four times. In 2005, Patterson led the Frogs to the Mountain West Conference championship in their first season of league play. Over the course of the 2005 & 2006 seasons, the Frogs won four consecutive games against Big 12 opponents, with only one of the four coming at home.

Patterson turned down a job offer from Minnesota worth over $2 million per year to stay at TCU. [http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/sports/16488232.htm] Dead link|date=September 2008
