Gary Patterson eyes a full-time coaching comeback, with USC and Lincoln Riley ready to ignite new Pac-12 fireworks. Could the legendary TCU architect become the Trojans’ next defensive mastermind? Darrion Gray explores how Patterson’s deep ties with Riley, a history of gridiron battles in the Big 12, and a revered legacy at TCU position him as a leading candidate for USC’s defensive coordinator role. Key talking points include what Patterson’s four-year hiatus means for his updated defensive philosophy, the urgency for TCU women’s basketball to fix costly turnover issues after a gut-wrenching loss to Ohio State, and whether Jamie Dixon’s tenure with TCU men’s basketball is reaching a critical tipping point after recent struggles.
