After 20 years, Gary Patterson is no longer TCU's head football coach. Patterson was 181-79 during his tenure as the Horned Frogs head football coach. Here is a look at the TCU Horned Frogs football program since 2008 (the first year that I collected all the variables needed for the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model). This time period only covers Gary Patterson (but not his first seven seasons due to data constraints). After the figure below is a more detailed look at the Texas Christian Horned Frogs football program during head coach Patterson's tenure based on the Complex Invasion College Football Production Model using data provided by www.cfbstats.com.
