Texas assistant Gary Patterson shuts down rumors about the Nebraska job

Gary Patterson is not going anywhere at the moment.

Rumors have been swirling about Texas assistant coach Gary Patterson being a candidate for the Nebraska head coaching position.

The former TCU head coach quickly shut down any speculation tying him to the Nebraska job. Patterson took to Twitter on Tuesday night to reaffirm his commitment to Steve Sarkisian and this Texas team.

Patterson is one of the more accomplished coaches in college football. He took TCU to new heights and changed the expectations of the program for the better during his time in Fort Worth. Patterson is TCU’s all-time wins leader and even has a statue built of him outside their stadium.

Expect Patterson to receive some interest from new opportunities this offseason as the coaching carousel begins to heat up. Still, he remains focused on helping Texas finish the season on a high note.
