Gary Patterson to Arkansas?

No way. He hasn't left TCU at this point, I don't see why he leaves now to battle for 4th place in the SEC West every year.
Yes. Pretty impressed with Sumlin thus far. That division is wide open after the top two teams, and he's taking care of business.
I could see him leaving if he feels like he has maxed out TCU's potential. It's going to be a lot harder to get those 10, 11 win seasons in the B12. It's hard for small private schools to go head to head with Texas and Oklahoma. He's at the age where he probably only has time for one more move. Why not take a shot in the SEC with an Arkansas program that is in much better shape than what they have shown this season?
Arky may be in better shape than they show, but they're still looking at 4th place in their division, at best, most years as long as Saban, Miles, and Sumlin are coaching at their respective schools.
This also might be a good move for him if he has any desire to coach in the NFL. You know Jerry Jones is always watching what is happening at Arkansas.
I could have seen this a few years ago, but don't see why he'd leave now that they're in the B12
Not really, because if Patterson takes the Razorback job we will have to worry about CPR bolting for TCU.
I'd be shocked if he leaves TCU, he's been courted before by the big boys and didn't leave. Why would he now that he's gotten TCU in an elite conference and TCU has given him a nice contract. The only change I see is this may make Patterson even more money.
Wide open= weakest its been in years...but just like at Houston Sumlin inherited a great QB and with coaching changes at Arkansas and Auburn, A&M is probably the frontrunner for the spot right behind LSU and Bama for the forseeable future.
Arkansas is a great job, even with the difficult schedule. Plus, the fan support at TCU is just atrocious despite all the winning Patterson has done. I could see him going.
