Believe it or not I think we have a good shot at landing this guy.
According to my source (Who is a Gopher football season ticket holder and often rubs elbows with big wig donors) The Gophers offered Patterson the job in 2006/2007 and he decided to turn down the opportunity and stay at TCU.
Less than a week later Patterson contacted Maturi and said he changed his mind, he would like to take the job. However, Maturi had already offered the gig to Brewster and were not willing to back out on his commitment.
Apparently he wanted the job before TCF and taking over for a pretty well respected coach in Mason. So it could be even more appealing now with a brand new stadium and the chance to be loved by millions of Minnesotans with little expectations initially. He is a midwest guy (born in Kansas) and like every is looking to get into that big time conference with that big time team.
Anyone else ever hear this rumor? Is it old news? Discuss....
