Patterson was the absolute worst AD hire in the country and the only reason he was chosen was because he agreed to force Mack out and Luck wanted that completed before taking over which is not a bad idea for Luck. The admin at the time should have handled Mack appropriately before searching for an AD. Luck would have been infinitely better and who knows who would have been the football coach instead of Charlie Strong had Luck been hired,
I am glad we have CDC now but acting like Luck would not have been a gigantic upgrade on Patterson is laughable and frankly pretty idiotic statement.
