Hell of a run for him. Very close to making the BCS title game in a couple season in the Mountain West and finished No. 2 in the 2010 season. Then they go to the Big 12 and in his third year they go 12-1, only lose on the road to Baylor by 3 and got screwed out of a playoff appearance because the Big 12 didn't have a championship game then (only 10 teams). So the conference declared co-champs and the committee punted and selected the other four conference champs. Thought they had a better resume than OSU (the 4 seed) that year. They were actually seeded 3rd by the committee that year going into the last week, beat Iowa State 55-3 and were jumped by 3 teams, one of which was Florida State who won by 2.

Many credit Patterson for popularizing the 4-2-5 defense to combat passing offenses. Is that related to the Flex? (Synonym?)

the Flex was designed by Tom Landry as a run stopping defense. Supposed to be a way to combat counters and the old ‘run to daylight’ Packers’ sweeps.

Patt will DC at a big program if he wants it.

How about UCD?

Would Hawk accept it?
