Steve Patterson is out. It took less than two years. That's an achievement. Consider that DeLoss Dodds blundered with hires for most of his three decade tenure before finding Mack Brown and Rick Barnes, held on to both too long, fired popular coaches like Abe Lemons (though rightly), retained some shabby ones, completely blew the realignment opportunities that tied Texas into the demographically feeble Big 12 for the foreseeable future, refused to set any forward vision past 2010, let Texas athletics drift into somnolence and still managed to stick around until 2013. He was hired in 1981.
