TCU Players Push Back After Teammate Makes Gary Patterson N-Word Accusations (Update)

TCU head coach Gary Patterson allegedly called out redshirt freshman linebacker Dylan Jordan for posting his girlfriend on social media for National Girlfriend Day (it was Saturday, if you forgot) and that turned into a deeper argument that Jordan claims included Patterson calling him out for using the n-word in a meeting room by Patterson then using the n-word.

Jordan says players refused to practice this morning and used the n-word again. "This behavior is not okay now or ever and there needs to be repercussions to these actions," Jordan posted on Twitter.

Senior tight end Artayvious Lynn pushed back against Jordan's characterization of the events. "I never stated that the word was okay to use. We as a Team discussed this already on how unacceptable it was to say the word period and decided not to practice to think of ways to move forward," Lynn wrote on Twitter.

The TCU players pushing back on the situation want people to understand is that Patterson never used the n-word towards a player. "Don’t believe everything you see in the media, know the facts behind a situation before you try to make a situation public. No one was called the N word. You Twitter fingers need to be cancelled ASAP!," junior wide receiver Derius Davis tweeted.

As for the girlfriend post that started all this, it must've been deleted. A photo of Jordan's girlfriend last appeared on Instagram July 25 and it was a for a "date night," not National Girlfriend Day.

Gary Patterson has issued an apology.
