@Andrew_Gribble: Sarah Patterson said she'll have multiple surgeries in the coming months to replace both of her knees LINK

Ouch. My grandfather had both done maybe 10 years ago. He was angry for a whole summer.

Throw in their daughter Jordan Patterson and that family has 7 National Title between them. Bama royalty.

It's no longer a sport where we compete with UCLA and Utah for a title. Anyone's game moving forward. Sad day.

Have you not seen the support that several programs in the SEC, not named Alabama and Georgia, are now giving to gymnastics? Clearly Patterson couldn't coach forever, but it's going to be a tough road for a new coach. Much like Georgia has been facing.

To say the least. Amazing woman as well. One of the nicest you could ever meet. UA gymnastics will miss her leadership.

Sarah Patterson.
Any thoughts on who we can replace her with?

Here's an article from al.com about her leaving:

I didn't realize she was hired by Bear Bryant.

Class act, hope she enjoys her retirement.

Wow. Seems like she's both experienced and familiar with the program. Let's hope she continues Coach Patterson's success.

Good news I realized. SEC and NCAA Champions are recognized at midfield during halftime of a random football game the following season. Since Bama won the 2014 SEC, Bama Nation will have one last time to give Sarah and David a standing ovation.

Great interview from new Head Coach Duckworth... who's first move as coach was to head to SEC Media days and bringing attention to her team. Sarah would be proud.
