Gary Patterson is 71-27 in nine seasons at TCU.

Gary Patterson is apparently the latest coach to scratch himself off Washington's wish list.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in today's editions that Patterson, 71-27 in nine seasons at TCU, was on Washington's list but that there is "no interest on his part."

A Star-Telegram columnist said on KJR-AM earlier in the day that Patterson had been approached by UW officials on Sunday but told them he wasn't interested.

Other coaches thought on UW's list who are also staying put include Missouri's Gary Pinkel, who has agreed to a new deal with the Tigers; and Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, who agreed to a deal to become the head-coach-in-waiting of the Longhorns.

Both were reportedly approached by UW officials before deciding to stay at their current schools.
