TCU LB accuses Gary Patterson of using racial slur, players skip practice in revolt

TCU football head coach Gary Patterson is accused of using a racial slur.

Gary Patterson may be in a world of trouble if what he is accused of is true.

Patterson has been a college football coaching institution for the TCU Horned Frogs since 2000. He has won 172 games in Fort Worth, won 11 bowl games and six conference championships. The 60-year-old head coach was on the fast track towards College Football Hall of Fame enshrinement. However, one of his linebackers in Dylan Jordan had something to say on Twitter.

Jordan tweeted out a lengthy message on Twitter Monday afternoon saying Patterson used a racial slur when he referenced the linebacker using the word in meetings.

TCU football could be in so much trouble if what Dylan Carter says is true.

It doesn’t matter how much success Patterson has had at TCU in the last 20 years, you can’t use racial slurs towards anybody, let alone a player on your football team. A white person is never allowed to use that word in any capacity, not even quoting someone. This is something Patterson knows deep down and this might very well cost him his job if this is proven true.

TCU had an outside shot at contending for the Big 12 title this year. The Horned Frogs were able to land five-star running back Zachary Evans, who might be the most talented player to call TCU home since LaDainian Tomlinson starred for the Horned Frogs in the late 1990s and very early 2000s. Maybe the Patterson era of TCU football will come to an end before this season starts?

If what Jordan said is true, then Patterson may no longer be the head coach of TCU football.
