Gary Patterson back in college football (Gary Patterson Baylor)

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.
