Wow. Surely he's doing a Painter-to-Mizzou power play to Pitt. TCU is a pretty tough gig under any circumstances. But now that Smart is at UT, I'm not sure why someone like Dixon would touch it.

Dixon played at TCU

Dixon played at TCU

True, but unless having his ego stroked by the alumni is a big part of the equation for him, and it may well be, I would think Dixon could do a good bit better. He's a really solid coach, I just don't see how he competes for and wins the best Texas kids against a guy the caliber of Smart and UT's resources. Kind of feels like taking the NC State job with Duke and UNC right around the corner, except TCU is a worse job than NC State.
If he does do it, I hope he negotiates himself a Texas sized buyout.

Sure looks like Dixon to TCU

TCU the new Pittsburgh if they make the dance. Don't pick them to go far.

Probably a mutually beneficial move.

What rumors?

[LIHoosier 26,148]

Larry Shyatt, Wyoming's coach has just resigned.

I wonder who is on the short list to replace Dixon at Pitt.

 

Have to think they immediately target Archie Miller, as I'm pretty sure his family is from that general area.

[8bucks 6,431]

What rumors?

Last summer many speculated that Crean would not be back this year and that he may proactively leave if a job opened up that he liked. Some though maybe that was Alabama but some folks that have been pretty neutral and somewhat connected suggested the Pitt job would have appeal to him. Dixon was a candidate for some job last year too and the rumor said that if Pitt were open, Crean and Glass would reach an agreement where he left for that job.

No reason TCU cannot be a top tier basketball program. Their football program is certainly turning heads. Texas universities have tremendous resources and a ton of in-state talent.

[USMCHoosier 157]

If IU manages to beat UNC, Crean will not need to look anywhere else. He will almost certainly get an extension.

I doubt that

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

If IU manages to beat UNC, Crean will not need to look anywhere else. He will almost certainly get an extension.

At this point, Crean doesn't even need to beat UNC. Put up respectable performance, and no one will be disappointed in his coaching performance this year.

Not sure it is up to IU at this point, may decide to go on his own...

That was quick.

Not a bad hire at all.
