Jamie Dixon took a team that went 8-64 in conference to the tournament in two years, so he's an example.
Dixon?
- Thread starter Smooth42
- Start date
Exactly right, although again I don’t think what happened in the 5-6 years prior is all that relevant. Hell, we were playing in an off-campus HS gym for a year while simultaneously trying to compete in a far better conference....not the greatest situation for a coach. Dixon has done a good job turning the program around, but what are the expectations going forward? When you watch us play do you see a really well-coached team? All I’m saying is it needs to get better for what he is getting paid.

And to keep things in some reasonable perspective, in two seasons Dixon has coached TCU to 12.5% of its total NCAA bids. Add in his appearance as a player and he has been directly involved in 25% of our appearances.

So you don't think the results of four seasons prior to Jamie's arrival are relevant, but you think the gym we played nine conference games in during 2016 is?
I have no idea why you think playing at Schollmaier was such a big handicap for us. We played 9 conference games in regular college arenas and lost them all. We played 9 at Schollmaier and won 2, so we equalled the average results from the previous three years. Our opponents played against us in the same arena with the same floor, same rims, everything.
I think the biggest point you could TRY to make is that it somehow hurt recruiting, but we were renovating our regular arena. And if it hurt recruiting, that was to the disadvantage of...Jamie.
Seems to me that going 20-29 in conference is a huge turnaround from 8-64, especially taking into account the injuries this year.
And it seems from your stance that you won't be satisfied with anything.

Dixon made it to the NCAA's in his year 2 with 4 of Johnson's players playing significant minutes. He is playing 2 of them this year. Of his recruits, only Bane has been there all 3 years I think. Four of his recruits have left. It will be interesting to see if he can bring in the Bigs you need who can play inside/outside.

I just don’t understand that some are not taking into the account of the attrition that started at the end of December. That had to alter expectations for this season. I don’t think one person is giving him a pass for next season. It also isn’t like he hasn’t met or exceeded expectations the first two seasons. If season 4 is struggle, then I thing there is debate to had.

Is it that he isn't winning, or that you're upset about what he's paid? How much less should he be paid in order that your expectation, matches his salary?

I keep coming on here thinking there's no way this joke of a thread will still be going but somehow still is.

Maybe I’m old fashioned but shouldn’t it be admins, donors, season ticket holders, and alums who concern themselves with coaches salaries?

He hasn’t posted a winning record sine the 13-14 season at Pitt. If wanting better makes me a troll, then so be it.

How has Pitt done since he left? Having any success at Pitt after the move to the ACC should be deemed a miracle. Jamie will continue to get it done at TCU and be the most successful coach in the history of the program. Now I'm pissed at myself for even posting on this idiotic thread!

Winningest coach in Big East history by percentage before they left that conference. And he'll likely end up being the winningest coach in TCU history before he's done.
So, yes, you're a troll. And Chris Beard will be moving on to a legit big time program soon if he truly is an elite coach.

This goes thread goes down as one of the dumbest in Killerfrog history. It has brought out all kinds of trolls and fake frog fans.

So you’re biggest defense to me being a troll is something he’ll “likely” do. Sound argument.
