Uhhh...Dixon to UCLA rumor/ news

[Christcu]

A million here, a million there. Whatever. He’s still unhappy. Lost out on coaching at his dream school with a big pay raise, moving home, and being close to his folks. Will be hard to know who he blames, but he’s not getting over it anytime soon.

He needs to get over it soon...

 

[DeepEllumFrog]

Will coach JD give a press conference explaining what happened? Easing anxiety for the alumni and recruits should be a priority along with an extension announcement.

Disagree. Just tell us your happy you're staying and move on.

 

[Froggish]

I find it weird that anyone would think being close to family was a real pull towards UCLA...Don’t get me wrong being near family is big for a lot of people, but the world probably seems pretty damn small for a guy that makes 3Mil a year

He told you all of this?

I knew Ed Schollmaier would deliver!!

Yeah, it’s a short plane ride. He could be eating dinner at his parents’ tonight if he wanted.

 

[Frognosticator]

At the end of the day, regardless of whose fault it is or how you spin it, he missed out on a $5mm/yr pay increase. He ain’t happy.

Ummmm...
Never mind. Wallow in your misery Westsider. I think you’re most comfortable there.

Did Grandy's closing have anything to do with this? Pro or con?

Build awesome guest quarters on your palatial estate for mom & dad to stay. Plus unlimited first class tickets using all those Australia miles.

Have mom and dad move to FW. Sounds like a good plan to me.

I keep wondering why he would want to leave here until I remember that he is only making $285,250 a month. Wouldn't you be willing to leave?

 

[Deep Purple]

My understanding is that he is getting $3mil now

That's base salary. His total TCU compensation is well over $4.1 million. IF UCLA was going to offer him only $5 million, that would be a considerable pay cut, considering that the cost of living in LA is 81.2% higher than in DFW.

Well, in the end, at least everything confirmed that Mac's reporting is confirmed as straight [ steaming pile of Orgeron ].

The only silver lining in this deal. Confirmation.

 

[Big Frog II]

Well, I'm relieved. Jamie is one of us, and I didn't want to see him go.

“My interpretation of our conversation is that he [Dixon] plans to stay with us through the entirety of his career and that we don’t have to worry about something like this again.”
-Boschini

IDK who or what a "Garrett Podell" is, but already I prefer him over the FW medjia dbags.

Lol, that’s

 

[tcufrogprince1]

I dont want to brag, but I called it. IF he really is staying for the rest of his career, expect a big contract extension from TCU with a bit of a raise so that no one will touch him. Never say never as coach p says, but I think this actually works in our favor. I dont think he wanted to leave because he was mad at his coaching situation here. I think he would have been crazy not to consider the move. Glad he is staying.

ADJD just won me over handling this Dixon issue two weeks out from the UT party patio canceling event. Double street cred coupled with Schloss last Summer and that total nonsense moving to Starkville.

ADJD and the TCU peeps need to encourage OU and Del Conte at UT to go for the jugular here and invite Arizona and Arizona State to the Big XII and be done with this nonsense. No one will care if the Pac 12 goes back to the Pac 10. TCU and Tech and others would secure their future with this move.
