TCU football coach Gary Patterson’s pay tops $5.1 million

TCU football coach Gary Patterson, the winningest coach in TCU history, received a bonus of more than $600,000 in 2015, and his total compensation rose to just over $5.1 million, according to the university’s most recent Form 990 tax return.

Patterson also received a raise of about $500,000 in 2015 — the year after his team shared the Big 12 title with Baylor and crushed Ole Miss in the Peach Bowl — pushing his base salary to $3.99 million.

TCU announced a six-year extension of Patterson’s contract last August that will take him to 2022.
