Hopefully this will take care of anymore “Dixon will leave for Cal” rumors.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com that Cal made an attempt to hire Dixon within 24 hours of firing Ben Braun. Dixon told the Bears he wanted to stay at Pitt.
Arizona State also tried to hire Dixon before Herb Sendek took the job in the spring of 2006.
There is a perception that Dixon wants to move back to the West Coast because he is from Santa Barbara and his wife is from Hawaii. In truth, he is not looking to get back there as his family thoroughly enjoys living in Pittsburgh.
That’s not to say he won’t still get a new extension and raise from Pitt.
UPDATE (11:29): Oh, and not that it was really an issue but TCU (Dixon’s alma mater) has apparently hired Jim Christian from Kent State.
PSU beat MSU on feb 2nd; does that mean PSU would have crushed Pitt and given Memphis a game?
That’s why they play the game!!
You could at least spell Miller’s first name right if you’re going to try to be a know-it-all. Nice job. The rest of your point is ignorant as well.
This game is a disaster right now. Figures Neitzel chooses to shoot lights out against us, but goes cold against Temple and Memphis…
