Agree.

He owes us $8 and not a dime less.

All parties thought that the $8 was a fair amount at the time he entered into his contract with TCU.

Nothing has changed.

Man up and pay the $8.

That’s the baffling part. Why did Dixon agree to such a high buyout if he wasn’t planning on being here.

Bejeezus, Froglaw! If it's only $8, then I thin

Bejeezus, Froglaw! If it's only $8, then I think we can come up with that between us just from change found in the sofa cushions...

Three words. National Championship Coach. A tremendous coach, motivator and a good guy from my experience.

Google "Dirtiest NCAA Programs," Louisville in at #2, after Kentucky(unsurprisingly, his former job).

"Pitino:
National Titles: 3
Final Fours: 10
Biggest Scandal: Allegedly hiring escorts for recruits, failure to monitor an aide

Across the bluegrass state, former Kentucky coach Rick Pitino has seen success on the court and chaos off it at Louisville. In what is perhaps the most unseemly NCAA scandal of the last decade, the program is alleged to have hired escorts for recruits and players in a mess they have been embroiled in since 2010. Still unsettled, the Cardinals are facing four Level 1 infractions, the highest designation possible, and Pitino is being charged with failure to monitor an aide. Since those findings were released in October of last year, the university and head coach have filed an appealleaving the punishment up in the air. In something less directly related to basketball, Pitino found himself in the midst of a sex scandal a few years ago involving extortion and his colleague’s ex-wife. The matter ended with Pitino as the victim rather than the culprit, nonetheless the optics were far from ideal."

As Big Bill said, you are what your record says you are. This dude's record says he has been wildly successful at running outlaw programs in an industry where outlawry is expected. No NCAA sport is more conducive to unctuous characters than men's basketball. Finding him personally charming isn't exactly evidence to the contrary.

And number 3 on that list is UCLA, although I would argue UCLA is #1 all time based on the bagman Sam Gilbert making sure John Wooden won all those national championships. The players from those days, including Walton, admit this was the case.

It was a sad picture of CJD in the closing seconds last night. It was a shot on tv from the end of the court. He was sitting in the chair, bent over with hands clasped just staring at the floor. To me, it was obvious that he was upset about losing the game, but also about leaving TCU. Right then I felt certain he was gone, but the fact he was leaving bothered him.

For it was at that moment he realized he had come up just short of his goal, and he would have accomplished in three short years what no Horned Frog coach previously even dared to dream, a second NIT championship and it would have sealed his fate for generations to come to be known as the greatest basketball coach in the history of Texas Christian University (just TCU please)!

I was at Bronco’s Sports Bar on Hulen one night when Reggie Herring chaperoned a group of 4-5 TCU FB players including Knake. I remember that night because I was playing for beers on the pool table and on a good run. Beat Knake by sinking the 8 ball on the break.

Herring came over and talked to me for awhile. In this setting he was a funny dude. But I kind of had mixed emotions of a TCU coach escorting underage players in a bar. The negative side, is what was Herring thinking? On the positive side, he was acting as the players handler and monitoring their night out.

I don’t know how he can stay at this point. It’s hard enough to fill a 7,000 seat arena with TCU fans when times are good. TCU fans are entitled and fickle, and he may have rubbed enough people the wrong way to the point that The Scholl is empty next year out of spite. Imagine trying to recruit in a hostile environment at your own home gym. Recipe for disaster, on top of this years mass exodus.

Kind of felt that way about Schloss for a week. Then, I was back to normal. More importantly, the players were good with him staying at TCU. Schloss publicly recommitted himself to TCU. It would be wise for JD to do the same if he stays.

Yah that was a similar feeling. I guess for me, the Schloss and GP comparison aren’t the
same. Schloss has 16 years in purple and he’s truly built a program, GP with what, 20? And we all know what he means to TCU.

Dixon at 4 years with a roster that is a real mess right now. Not to say he can’t swing the pendulum fairly quickly with a much smaller roster where impact players are easier to inject, I just don’t get the comparison between the coaches.
