Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.

Of course not. It sounds like he will be forced to make some (possibly necessary) staff changes but there's no way his seat is even warm.

I’ve heard Patterson’s name brought up a few times now - why would he want to leave when TCU is still, theoretically at least, in contention to win the Big 12?

Patterson also said when he interviewed for UT a few years ago he wasn't hired because he wasn't ready for the big stage. Gary Patterson is one of the whiniest, most petty men on the planet and he holds ridiculous grudges.

I'd honestly be more stunned at Patterson going to UT than I would Gruden.

Isn't the kicker about Patterson that he was so spurned when he was trying to get a job before TCU that now he basically refuses to even listen to other schools as a "gently caress you" to them?

He got low-balled by Tennessee and Nebraska back when he was a Mountain West coach, but it's much more to do with being second to God at the Saudi Arabia of college football. TCU can cheerfully match any school's offer and that's before any of the poorly kept secret oil and gas royalties given by boosters. Obviously that will never be publicly disclosed but if he has more than a couple of acres his real take-home could look more like a corporate CEO's.

I'll never understand hitching your wagon to someone like this. How does that conversation not go:

School president or whoever: "Yeah so we want you to get rid of Bert"
AD: "Nah I want to keep him"
SPOW: "You're fired if you don't get rid of him"
AD: "Nuff said gently caress that guy who do you think we should hire to replace him?"

Unless the guy just really wanted to leave Arky and used that to get fired I guess

Alvarez is making over 1 mil a year. It's not D-I coach levels of cash, but it's still a significant chunk of change (his pay was the top for ADs in the Big Ten and fourth nationally according to USA Today back in 2016 when he signed an extension).

It varies, and some hold a couple different positions in the school, but yeah they're largely in the $200k-$1m range as FBS schools go.

My brother used to live near Jeremy Foley's house. It was very nice but not obscenely expensive. But you know guys like him get all kinds of things (food, vehicles, etc.) on the university's dime.
