TCU starting quarterback Casey Pachall has been suspended indefinitely after he was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated early Thursday morning.

Coach Gary Patterson announced the suspension hours after police say Pachall was pulled over for running a stop sign near TCU's Fort Worth campus.

"My job as a head coach is to win games, educate our kids and help them with their lives," Patterson said in a statement, which added that TCU would have no further comment. Pachall's "breath specimen" was over the legal limit (0.08), said Pedro Criado, Fort Worth police spokesman. Pachall was transferred to the Mansfield (Texas) jail, where his bond was set at $1,000.

TCU confirmed that Pachall had failed a Feb. 1 drug test, just two weeks before the arrests. Pachall attended a university drug and alcohol awareness program and was not suspended for any game time by Patterson.

Pachall, a junior, started all 13 games for TCU a year ago, and had 948 passing yards and 10 touchdowns for the 4-0 Horned Frogs, who are ranked No. 15. TCU is set to host Iowa State on Saturday.

Pachall's arrest was reported earlier by the Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate.

TCU coach Gary Patterson may not have much to say about the suspension of quarterback Casey Pachall right now — that could change come Tuesday — but Texas safety and Pachall’s former high school teammate Kenny Vaccaro sure does.

Vaccaro said he spoke with Pachall on Sunday and that Pachall told him that he was going to “take some time off and get everything together.” Pachall was suspended indefinitely last week after being arrested on a suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Pachall has previously admitted to failing a drug test and using cocaine.

Here’s more of what Vaccaro had to say about Pachall via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

“I told him after a couple of times of getting in trouble, ‘You’ve got to stop. You’re a quarterback. You represent your program. You represent yourself. You represent Brownwood.’ And now it’s just like, ‘Man, you’ve got to make better decisions.’ He’s like, ‘I know. I know. I think Casey can get it turned around because in high school, he was a different kid. I think he just got to the big city … kind of like me. I haven’t been perfect since I got here. But I think I’ve progressed and matured. I told Casey the same thing. So he’s going to take some time off and get everything together. And he’ll be fine, I think. He’ll be fine in the long run. He’s a great player.

TCU quarterback Casey Pachall plans to enter an inpatient facility and withdraw from school, coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday.

Pachall won't play football in 2012, and will try and seek help with drug and alcohol addiction. Patterson said the door will be open for Pachall to return in the future.

Patterson said he met with Pachall and his parents earlier this week. The coach also met with the university's chancellor and athletic director on Sunday.

Patterson said Pachall may already be at the facility, less than a week after being arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.

"I dont think 1 game, 3 games would have made a difference," Patterson said "You try to change people's lives. That's what this is all about."
