Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Tuesday he will benefit from former TCU coach Gary Patterson's more than two decades of knowledge navigating the state now that he's a part of the Longhorns' staff.
Two weeks ago, Texas announced it had hired Patterson to be a special assistant to Sarkisian.
Patterson, a consistent thorn in the Longhorns' side on the football field, spent 21 seasons as the head coach at TCU before being pushed out in November.
He left the Horned Frogs with a record of 181-79 and a pair of Associated Press Coach of the Year awards.
