Gary Patterson has reportedly taken another job in college football, and it's at another former rival.
According to reports from SicEm 365 and Dave Campbell's Texas Football, Patterson has taken a senior level off-field role at Baylor.
Patterson will be a "senior level strategic consultant," working on opponent breakdowns and self-scouting. It'll be a similar role to the one he served at Texas in the 2022 season.
Patterson went 181-79 as TCU's head coach from 2001-21, winning six conference titles, producing six AP top-10 finishes, and along the way leading the university from Conference USA to the Big 12.
There was a time when TCU-Baylor was the most underrated rivalry in college football.
In 2011, Baylor launched Robert Griffin III's Heisman Trophy campaign with a 50-48 upset of the No. 14 Frogs to open the season. It was the first time Baylor had beaten TCU, who would go 11-2 that season, since the 1995 breakup of the Southwest Conference.
In 2014, Baylor and TCU staged one of the best games of the decade, as the Bears erased a 58-37 deficit to win 61-58 in a battle of top-10 teams. It would be the only game TCU lost that season. The following year, No. 19 TCU scored a rain-soaked double OT upset of No. 7 Baylor in Fort Worth.
In all, Patterson went 9-4 in a rivalry that TCU leads 59-53-7 all-time.
In taking a job on Dave Aranda's staff, Patterson showed the rivalry stemmed more from his personal grudge with then-Bears coach Art Briles than the program he happened to work for.
Either way, keep Nov. 2 circled. That's when Patterson's old team pays a visit to his current team in what should be another great edition of the Revivalry.
