TCU extends Gary Patterson until 2022

Gary Patterson will be at TCU for many more years with athletic director Chris Del Conte's announcement Tuesday that the coach's contract has been extended to 2022.

"Gary Patterson is synonymous with TCU and Fort Worth," Del Conte said in a statement. "His value to our community goes beyond the football field. It’s obviously a great day for our Horned Frogs family when Coach Patterson reiterates that TCU and Fort Worth are his home!"

Patterson enters his 16th season as TCU's all-time winningest coach with 143 victories. He ranks fifth among active coaches with a .753 winning percentage and has reached the 10-win mark on 10 separate occasions.

Since TCU's a private institution, it doesn't have to release details on the contract. Patterson's previous contract ran through the 2020 season, where he made $3.94 million, according to USA Today.
