Patterson would have been a good hire, and Hamilton approached him and he turned UT down. I would like to see him lose, he likes playing a weak conference and weak schedule and then expect a BCS bowl at the end of the season.
Dude, for someone who has posted 14,000 post and a supposed Volnation Guru. Your football intelligence is very lacking to say the least! You are the same one who posted a comment about Wilcox doing less with a defense he inherited from Monte and spelled Monte as Monty! You do realize Wilcox had much less to work with this year than Monte had last year. Yet, UT's D improved and gave up a total of 27 points
combined in the second half versus the last 5 teams! The great Monte gave up 40 plus to Ole Miss and Virginia Tech last year!
If, you don't think Patterson can coach a D and compete against tough competition. You are totally ignorant!
Patterson's D just held the number 4 scoring offense this year that average 43 points per game in the Big Ten to 19 points with left over recruits from Texas!!!!!!!
