Do Pitt fans regret pushing Jamie Dixon away yet?

My good God...we are only 2 games back! How did this happen?

 

[We Are Syracuse]

Stupidest thing they ever did. It's Pitt not Kentucky. Be happy you're in the tourney every year.

 

[NineOneSeven]

didn't he willingly leave?

 

[RF2044]

F#@ Pitt and their stupid fans.

 

[longislandcuse]

Stallings didn't exactly inherit very much. Dixon's recruiting was terrible and put them in a really bad position. They can't exactly pull rabbits out of a hat like we can when we miss on players.

Yes and I wondered why and asked why he left and was told multiple times that he was pushed out. I don't know but it is weird he'd leave Pitt for VCU.

There's no way they're 1-7 and dead last in the ACC if Dixon was still there. Lots of season to go but look what Dixon has done at TCU already.

Totally agree.

Dixon left on his own. They should've given the job to Brandon Knight. Pitt peaked in December.

Doris Burke remains crushed.

There is 0 talent at Pitt. I've been to a few of their games and they have exactly one player who can score.

Imagine trying to play with four Roberson's on offense and Battle.

They lack overall talent but Stallings is a bum and is making it worse. I smile as I type this...

They did win @MD Marquette and UVa and started 12-2. They are in a free fall right now but they never really got a lot of big time recruits... Dixon just was a great defensive coach and the refs let them get away with thug-ball for many many years.

How bad is the Big Ten that their first place team lost by double digits at home to the last place ACC team?

Your question assumes that Pitt fans are sentient beings and is thus invalid.

I dont think they pushed him out? I always thought he played at TCU and they offered him a ridiculous amount of money so it was just a decision he made.

Nah she's still got -

Seriously. Can we say this OP is anything other than mostly conjecture?

Young and Artis could start for most ACC teams.

Young and Artis could start for most ACC teams.

Especially if they played with a decent PG. Artis plays point for them and he's one of their two good offensive players, and of course he's not a PG.

How good is the AAC that it's ___ place team waxed a mid ACC team by 30+, on the road.

Last I checked no AAC team did that... They are currently 6th in the Big East. We did lose by 2 to a 5-4 AAC team. Both teams are trying to make our bad losses look slightly less horrific.

I almost added a side note expecting this response though... in our case it wasn't one game conference comparison point it was a whole half season of being a different, terrible team... we lost to EVERYONE half decent (unless you want to count Monmouth).

Dixon had turned down many jobs to stay at Pitt over the years, including TCU. The last two years all you would read from Pitt fans is how much Dixon needs to be fired. There's no question in my mind this had a little something to do with why Dixon decided now was the time to leave. He wasn't appreciated there. That's not conjecture.

Young & Artis are the ACC's top 2 scorers at over 20 ppg apiece but after them there's not much else.
