The TCU Horned Frogs have seen a revitalization in football ever since Gary Patterson took over the program nearly two decades ago. He along with former quarterback Davey O’Brien and coach Dutch Meyer were honored on Saturday when they unveiled statues of the three to be put up around campus.
The statues will be put up outside Amon G. Carter Stadium. TCU revealed the statues in a special ceremony on Saturday, which can be viewed here.

O’Brien was a legendary quarterback for TCU as he helped lead the Horned Frogs to a national championship in 1938. The O’Brien Award was named after him and is awarded to the best college football quarterback every year.
Meyer led the Horned Frogs 109-79-13 record and two national championships in 1935 and 1938. He also led them to four Southwest Conference championships.
During his career with the Horned Frogs, Patterson led seven conference championships and a Rose Bowl appearance in 2010. He has a 143-47 record and will certainly lead them to even more in the coming years.
