Patterson's family doesn't see K-State move
The ritual is for Gail and Keith Patterson to speak with their son Gary, the football coach at Texas Christian, on the phone after his games. When they spoke to him last Thursday, there was no mention of the Kansas State coaching vacancy. But sensing that he might be linked to the job, the Pattersons later took their phone off the hook. Of course, that meant they couldn't hear from Gary, who apparently tried to call Friday, when an Internet report about Patterson becoming K-State's coach was denied by Patterson and the Wildcats. "But he spoke to his sister, and he told her, 'Make sure you tell Mom and Dad I'm not taking that job,'" Gail Patterson said. "I'm sure he's not taking that job." If that's the case, it would remove one of the most attractive candidates K-State may or may not have identified to replace Ron Prince. And Wednesday, there wasn't much information filtering out of Bramlage Coliseum, where athletic director Bob Krause's office is located.

Why jump to K-State when it's possible that a seat may open up in Lubbock?
Just saying.

I have no idea why UcheaT is not looking at this guy. Old school power and defense, he fits.

You mean they actually thought someone would be interested in the K-State job?

why would Tech want this guy? He coaches a decent team in a very mediocre conference.

Mediocre conference that is 1-0 against the SEC and Big 10. 5-1 against the pac 10.
Not an historical power conference but still very respectable. At least most of the MWC teams don't look for patsies for all of their non conference games like some schools do just to pad their numbers.

He coaches a great team in the best conference outside of the BCS. The MWC is a stronger conference bottom to top than the Pac 10 and Big East. The Frogs could put up a good fight for first in the Big XII North. Obviously you have never watched TCU play their brand of football.
