TCU’s Gary Patterson responds to allegations in lawsuit by ex-player | ESPN
Patterson said he is “excited” to tell TCU’s side of the story, and also says he’s been telling other former players to hold off on coming to his defense.
“I was a little bit hurt,” Patterson said Sunday. “I’m one of those coaches that put everything in my life into kids. Growing them up, giving them opportunity.”
Patterson, who has led TCU’s program for the past 17 seasons, said the program and its medical staff never puts winning ahead of player safety. He said the lawsuit hasn’t impacted TCU’s recruiting efforts at all, and that former players want to defend him but that he has told them to “lay in the weeds for now.”
TCU key spring issue: Rebuilding the offensive line | Dallas Morning News
Everyone knows TCU needs to rebuild the line, but who, exactly, will wind up wherE?
Lucas Niang and incoming JUCO transfer Anthony McKinney have already locked horns to see who takes over for Joseph Noteboom at left tackle. Fact of the matter is, both will probably start. Needing to replace four starters, Gary Patterson may have no choice but to place McKinney on the left side and slide Niang to the right side or to a vacant guard spot. It’s difficult to imagine Niang’s experience not landing him a starting spot on the line somewhere.
