Plus: The Texas sports weekend slate
Former TCU Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson, who was relieved of his duties with the program after 21 seasons, joined the Texas Longhorns earlier this month as an analyst.
Patterson will earn $150,000 annually at Texas, according to Axios.
That’s roughly six times the amount other analyst roles earn, multiple outlets note.
But it’s not like Patterson is hurting for dough at the moment. As part of his compensation package at TCU, he earned a staggering $6.1 million for the 2021 season, per USA Today.
