Patterson was likely to get fired anyway and that was the last nail in the coffin. They hate him and not necessarily for Charlie Strong although they think it's his fault they couldn't get anyone better. They think and they're probably right, that he scares off good coaches.

The other crazy thing is Smart, Strong, and Augie don't report to him.  There's a Assistant AD level between them.  Patterson even said if they have an issue, they take it up with the Assistant AD and it's up to him to elevate it to the AD.

Almost every major athletic department operates like this, including K-State.

If a FB or MBB coach has a problem, does a good AD openly say "If they have a problem, they talk to a mid-level AD boss"?  The idea that the AD at Texas openly says if the Texas FB coach has a problem his boss will elevate it to me is crazy to me.

I fully believe that KSU does something like this to insulate Currie and allow Bill to keep his semi-God status.  There's no way in hell Stoops or Harbaugh or Meyer or Saban are talking to a mid-level AD to elevate it if they have a problem.  Every story that's come out about Patterson makes me believe that statement he made about how UT operates is true.

Of course if the coach has a serious problem they go straight to the AD, but every team has an associate AD that they report to for a majority of issues.

Austin American Statesman reporting Patterson expected to he fired, possibly as soon as this morning.  The Pres has scheduled a meeting with Patterson for this morning.

They care about winning down there, not hiring somebody who will "do things the right way". They also don't need any help getting people to open up their wallets.  Unfortunately for us, Currie has 0 chance of landing that gig.

@Michigancat got Wacky's resume in working order for his new gig.  I think he should do the same for Currie and Tx.

So, this basically guarantees Strong is toast, right.  I mean, why else do you lose your job in yr two at TX?

This really had more to do with Patterson pissing off big boosters and rank & file alums and ultimately the new Pres that did not hire him. This tidbit from Chip is solid gold

Quote
On Sept. 4, the night before the Notre Dame game, at a high-dollar Texas reception thrown by Fenves’ office for donors at the top of the Hancock Tower in Chicago, Fenves acknowledged some key figures in the room.

He publicly thanked Texas chancellor Adm. William McRaven as well as those who helped organize the event. But Fenves made no acknowledgement of Patterson, who was also in the room.

Sources said there were no name tags for Patterson and his wife, Yasmine Michael, when they checked in for Fenves’ reception.

That allegedly led to a fit thrown by Michael, who has gotten very involved in donor relations at Texas. The lack of name tags also led to questions about if Patterson and Michael were invited, sources said.
If Strong had gone 8-4 and was 2-0 this year he is probably still employed

They really are.  This is going to be a hoot.  Where is Chip these days?  I may need to get a subscription to read him during this time.

Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby, former Texas coach and ESPN analyst Mack Brown, Louisville AD Tom Jurich and NCAA executive vice president Oliver Luck are among the candidates to replace Patterson, sources told ESPN's Brett McMurphy.

I see your reasoning there, but I think Luck would be even better, for the sake of the whole conference. Even more so than Bowlsby no longer being in charge of it.
