There had been discussion that Patterson was considering retirement before the start of the season. Him getting dismissed quite probably was somewhat mutual consent. The school may have felt he wasn't totally committed to the program and may/probably would leave at the end of the season anyway. TCU wanted certainty on next year, one way or another. They got it. I don't see Patterson jumping right in to any other coaching job right away.
