FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – TCU head football coach Gary Patterson and the university have agreed to mutually part ways after 22 seasons with the program, according to 247Sports and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Sunday night, Oct. 31.
Special assistant to the head coach Jerry Kill is set to take over as interim coach for the rest of the 2021 season.
Patterson has the most wins of any coach in TCU history with 181.
His best season was 2014 when he led the Horned Frogs to a 12-1 record.

Next Saturday’s game against 13th-ranked Baylor will be the first without Patterson on the TCU coaching staff since 1997.
