Texas Fat Cats ready to Ax controversial AD Steve Patterson. With both his two revenue sports in turmoil, the “cold, impersonal” Patterson has finally managed to piss off too many “Big Hats w/ Lots of Cattle & Oil Wells”.
When Houston Billionaire Trial Lawyer – Joe Jameil – did not renew his luxury suite at Darryl Royal Stadium overlooking “Joe Jameil Field” was a Bad Sign for the unlikeable Patterson.
Patterson’s predecessor Deloss Dodd was there “forever” but Patterson was fired after only 22 months.
ADs probably should not “piss off” anyone but especially when your #1 sport – Football – is so pathetic it calls “beating Rice” = “turning around our program”. OUCH!
Wonder if Texas Fat Cats know that “Dickie” is available? Maybe I should let them know ???
OK…. Likely NOT “Dickie”….. but Mack Brown is a popular choice by many OrangeBloods.

UPDATE: WHY Steve Patterson Was Fired on Tuesday

Don’t know if UT is ready for a Debbie (her or clone) AD? Interesting factoids about the firing…..22 Months. Has a multi-year (4 MORE years @ $1.4 Mill = $5.6 Mill) and has, reportedly agreed to a buy out. So, they canned the AD and brought in an Attorney (Ex UT player) for $750K (annual) to oversee things whilst they find a new AD. I SUPPOSE that they could hire a combo of Kevin White (Duke AD @ $900K) or Bubba Cunningham (UNC AD @ $550K) or Debbie Yow (NCSU AD @ $700K….but that does NOT include Bobby Purcell whom… Read more »
An AD who goes out of his/her/its way to piss off Fat Cats is a fool. Not unlike a pro team’s GM who pisses off his team’s owner. Applying “sound business principles” is one thing. Being “an as****e” is another. Maybe the interim guy (an alum / former FBer) will do fine… or they can go get Andrew Luck’s daddy at The NCAA…. or Mack… or “Dickie” …. hehehehe.
All state supported schools should be required to offer all jobs to the lowest bidder! ? Not a bad idea for national elections either.
Not so good idea for moon rockets however…
Buzz Aldrin agrees.
I bet Virgil “Gus” Grissom and Sallie Ride’s families do too.
Translation: Watch your back Charlie Strong. Oh yeah and John Gruden awaits their call. I’m pretty sure tassel loafers and Weejuns ain’t a real big deal in Austin.
Gonna be a Bee-otch to fire “highest paid AfAm Coach in BTCF”. The Butcher is still available although U Miami fans wanting him back there.
They’ve already called and asked me what to do. But you assumed that.
Of Course! “They” really want WORLD’S GREATEST AD-ette a/k/a “Kay’s Sister” …. but that will be over your dead body of course.

Does Texas know “Dickie” is available ???
