vegaskyle: i wouldn't compare a top tier mwc team to a top tier cusa team but thats just me. i see your point though .. it's the same point i make in regards to turner gil going to syracuse. just saying with tcu he is more likely to make bcs games than with kstate over the next decade. just my opinion.
Well he hasn't made a BCS game with TCU yet so perhaps he sees the chance as the same at both schools, but Bill Snyder took Kansas St to BCS bowls while no one has taken TCU to any BCS bowls, not even Dennis Franchione who was preceded Patterson at TCU.
he is going ot find the sledding different if he goes to kstate. patterson is a great recruiter in texas but that is going to be a lot harder to recruit to kstate , hence the reason they have relied on juco's for as long as i can remember.
Yes, he'll probably have to go the Juco route and recruit more of the midwest. Remember, he only has to worry about being the best team in the BIG-12 North, which is a obviously a much different animal than the BIG-12 South is.
without knowing the finances , i would rather have the tcu job. plus he gets to live in texas and not kansas..........
I presume Dallas/Fort Worth is nice, but as you mentioned we don't know the finances but I'm guessing it's a huge spike in salary and he'll be able to afford the nicest part of Manhattan, KS, whatever that is.
