Gary Patterson no longer Baylor consultant

NCAAF

Former TCU head coach Gary Patterson, hired in February as a consultant at Baylor, is no longer in that role, the school said on Friday.

“Baylor Football and Gary Patterson have jointly concluded their official partnership,” the school said in a statement. “Gary joined us as a senior consultant in February, and he has been a tremendous asset to the team, providing valuable insights and expertise. We are truly grateful for everything he has contributed and wish him all the best as he embarks on the next chapter of his storied career.”

Patterson spent the 2022 season as a special assistant at Texas to Steve Sarkisian before stepping away following the season and was not on a staff in 2023.

Baylor went 12-2 with a Big 12 title and a Sugar Bowl win over Ole Miss in 2021, but is 9-16 over the past two seasons. Patterson’s arrival was part of an offseason in which Aranda replaced offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes with Jake Spavital, himself a former Texas State head coach. Patterson provided more experience as a head coach in a role described as a senior-level strategic consultant.

Aranda, who has said he studied tapes of Patterson’s defenses as a young coach starting out, is taking over play-calling duties on defense this season.

Patterson, the winningest coach in TCU history, parted ways with the school late in the 2021 season after the Horned Frogs got off to a 3-5 start.

For his career, he was 181-79, including a historic Rose Bowl win over Wisconsin after the 2010 season when the Frogs were still in the Mountain West.
