LOS ANGELES — Down to his third strike here with defensive coordinators, Lincoln Riley is betting big on Gary Patterson. So, to shore up his defense, Riley has gone and grabbed a College Football Hall of Famer and two-time National Coach of the Year. Since 2021, Patterson has worked as an analyst at Texas and a consultant at Baylor, but he hasn’t been a full-time coach. Or Jerry Hughes, whom Patterson repositioned, taking the one-time running back and turning him into a defensive end bound for the NFL. Who can see the field like a canvas; who, they say, knows, to the inch, where his players all should be positioned.
