Anyone who didn't see this day coming at the University of Texas either doesn't have access to Google or was too lazy to use it. From the beginning, back in November 2013 when Steve Patterson was a surprise hire to replace the retiring DeLoss Dodds as Texas' athletic director, there were indications of what might lie ahead, that despite being a Texas alumnus, he might be a spectacularly bad fit for Texas.
Or maybe for anywhere.
If you doubt it, look it up. Go back just a little farther than his time at Arizona State, to Patterson's tenure running the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers.
