why would he not be granted a waiver. for coaching change. What the difference between him and Patterson?

The difference is Ole Miss lied to the recruits when they said not to worry about the investigations, and that they wouldn't be sanctioned for them. Because of this Patterson and the others were playing for a team that couldn't go to bowl games and had been punished for something that happened before they even got there.

Ohio State has so such issues with sanctions, so there's no hardship for Martell to claim.
