Connecting the dots

If true (and I hope it is...), I bet he didn't cost $4+ million.

This could also make Oregon a destination school for some top talent (Are you guys at Jefferson paying attention?)

JDixon already coming?

In other Big East news, there’s now some trepidation in the air for Pittsburgh basketball fans. Jamie Dixon went on a radio show earlier today and when asked about Oregon’s situation stated that he doesn’t ever comment on other jobs. Then one of the hosts, Ron Cook, asked him flat out: “You gonna be the Pitt coach next year?” Dixon laughed nervously and said “same thing I’m not going to talk even about the Pitt job search.” Dixon then canceled two other radio interviews he had scheduled the rest of the day. Now, within the last hour, another Pittsburgh radio voice — the controversial but well-connected Mark Madden — said on his show that a source has told him Dixon has accepted the Oregon job and it will be announced after the Final Four.

Oh man, that would be absolutely huge. Good find dthomas=dixon!!!!!! I would love this hire for so many reasons, and I admit one of them would be to laugh at all the so called experts who said we had no chance with someone like Dixon.

It also says how he contacted two people in the Pitt Athletic Department, and both laughed him off saying he's not going anywhere. But why would he say that? If that's true he probably meant to say the "Oregon job search".

The suspense is killing me. Dixon would do wonders at Oregon.

OMG! I really, really wanted Turegeon, but if we aren't getting him Dixon was my 1A choice. Absolutely he would do wonders here...please basketball gods, let us sign this guy!

Turgeon would be the hardest to pry away. Coach just received new extension & their AD is an Oregon alum who will refuse to budge on letting him get away.

I hope this guy has already gotten rid of his source.

Another rumor that gets proven false. Seems like we get one every day on a different coach.

Who's next?

Brad Stevens.

Brad Stevens.

Interesting. I like that he is "defense oriented". Do you think he could recruit well in the pac-10? Anyway, my guess is that Butler offers Stevens an extension with a big pay raise after what he has accomplished this season.

[woundedknees]

Duh...

[goducks]

Okay, who comes after Stevens? Just seems like this one may be to good to be true with his sudden popularity.
