Gary Patterson (born February 13, 1960 in Larned, Kansas) is the head coach of the TCU Horned Frogs college football team. He played football at Dodge City Community College and Kansas State University.

Patterson began his coaching career in 1982 at Kansas State, as an assistant to head coach Jim Dickey. After subsequently serving a number of years as an assistant coach at a number of different schools, Patterson was hired as Defensive Coordinator at the University of New Mexico in 1996. He served in that job for two years before leaving to take the same position at TCU in 1998. He was named head coach at TCU prior to the Mobile Alabama Bowl in December 2000, replacing Dennis Franchione who left to become the head coach at the University of Alabama.
In eight years at TCU, Patterson's 73 victories place him in second place on the TCU career victory chart, and he is the only coach in school history to record six 10-win seasons. His teams have only failed to reach a bowl game once (2004), the Frogs have earned a spot in the Final Top 25 five times. In 2005, Patterson led the Frogs to the Mountain West Conference championship in their first season of league play. Over the course of the 2005 & 2006 seasons, the Frogs won four consecutive games against Big 12 opponents, with only one of the four coming at home. Patterson was named the 2005 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year[1].
Patterson turned down a job offer from Minnesota worth over $2 million per year to stay at TCU.[4]
In the 2009 college football season, Patterson led the Horned Frogs to a perfect 12-0 season record, a Mountain West Conference Championship, a #4 BCS season-ending ranking, and an invitation to the 2010 Fiesta Bowl. The 2009 Horned Frogs became the second "BCS Buster" from the Mountain West Conference (and the fourth, overall) and seriously threatened to "bust into" the 2010 BCS National Championship Game. The results of two games on December 5th likely denied the Horned Frogs a final #2 BCS ranking: a last-second, game-winning field goal by Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game and an epic fourth quarter rally needed by Cincinnati to win over Pitt.
Patterson was named the 2009 AP Coach of the Year, becoming the first head coach of a non-BCS conference team to win the award.[5] He won a total of seven national "Coach of the Year" awards in 2009[2] in addition to being named the Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year for the second time (his third conference "Coach of the Year" award, overall).
