Patterson joins a list of coaches being “followed” by the Foundation that includes Frank Beamer of Virginia Tech, Lloyd Carr of Michigan, Pete Carroll of USC, Larry Coker of Miami (Fla.), Glen Mason of Minnesota, Joe Novak of Northern Illinois, Mark Richt of Georgia and Bob Stoops of Oklahoma. Patterson has led the Frogs to a 7-0 record this season, including a 4-0 mark in Conference USA action. The Frogs are just one of five undefeated Division I teams in the country and are tied with Oklahoma for the nation's longest winning streak. TCU is currently ranked 13th in the country according to the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, 14th in the BCS standings and 15th according to The Associated Press. Patterson has a 23-9 record in 32 games as the Horned Frogs' head coach. That tops Dennis Franchione's mark (22-10) as the best record after 32 games of any TCU football coach since the legendary Dutch Meyer was 24-7-1 from 1934 to 1936.
