TCU Extends Patterson Contract

{fshare id=5855}

After leading TCU to a 12-1 regular-season record and its first Big 12 championship, coach Gary Patterson received a contract upgrade.

Athletic director Chris Del Conte said Tuesday that Patterson and his assistants have new deals but declined to provide details. According to salary data, Patterson made $4,008,000 this season.

Patterson’s contract extends through the end of the decade, Del Conte acknowledged.

In 14 seasons at the school, Patterson has a 131-45 record with seven titles in four conferences. Before becoming the head coach, he served three years as TCU’s defensive coordinator.

Patterson was named the Eddie Robinson coach of the year in college football in early December.

The Horned Frogs, who shared the Big 12 title with Baylor, are preparing to face Mississippi in the Peach Bowl on Dec. 31. They just missed a spot in the four-team College Football Playoff, finishing fifth in the final rankings.
