Gary Patterson is a wizard. Fact.

His knowledge on the defensive side of the football is practically unrivaled. And while TCU may not be competing for a spot in the College Football Playoff final this New Year's Day, the Frogs' head coach isn't taking a day off.

ESPN invited Patterson to join its film room panel for the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, along with Syracuse's Dino Babers, UNC's Larry Fedora, West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen, Ole Miss' Matt Luke, and former Arkansas and Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema.

Patterson has made it very clear already that he didn't come to just sit on the couch. He's actively coaching in the room, calling plays before they happen and reciting plays Oklahoma ran against him from memory. It's really impressive.

Switch over to ESPNews to watch Coach P play Miss Cleo for the next few hours.
