It’s official.
After speculation began swirling in December, the courtship of Gary Patterson by Texas Football is complete.
According to multiple reports — and an official listing in the UT staff directory, Patterson has indeed been hired by the Longhorns, reuniting with Chris Del Conte in Austin as a member of second year coach Steve Sarkisian’s staff.
Patterson was confirmed to have visited the Texas Football facilities earlier this month, and days later, a job was posted on the UT website for a Special Assistant to the Head Coach. As a public university, the job had to be posted and open to the public before an offer could be extended to the likely only serious candidate.
