Campus Insiders: Jamie Dixon On Leaving Pitt For TCU: ‘The Timing Was Right’
by Sam Falcone
Jamie Dixon spoke with the Seth Davis Show about, among other things, his leaving Pitt for TCU, and why he made the move at this point in his career.
Jamie Dixon had built an established foundation at the University of Pittsburgh. The tenured head coach spent a resounding 13 seasons as the skipper for the Pitt Panthers basketball team, and he was adored by students and fans alike in the Steel City.
“Unheard of, to be honest. It’s very rare,” Dixon told the Seth Davis Show in regards to his lengthy and impressive regime with one school.
“The fact is that we were so good, and our stretch was the best in the country for like five years. We were that good. Being a number one seed was normal. It’s hard to go much higher than that. There is no higher than number one seed. You want that. You want to build that level of expectation. And if you don’t it’s disappointing. Some others may be more vocal about that, but you have to expect that. And you can’t question it because you’re doing the same thing.”
