ESPN's Joe Schad is reporting that Auburn has arranged an interview with TCU coach Gary Patterson today. Still trying to seek confirmation on this from TCU.

Patterson is an interesting name. He's done about as well as you can at a non-BCS school, going 72-27 in eight years with the Horned Frogs.

A Kansas State grad, Patterson was hired by Dennis Franchione at TCU as his defensive coordinator in 1998. When Franchione left for Alabama in 2000, Patterson took his place.

Patterson's 10-2 Horned Frogs are preparing to play undefeated Boise State in the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 23 in San Diego.
