I doubt that could/would ever happen, assuming you mean 0-8 in ACC football BC and 0-18 in ACC hoops BC. Could you imagine the boards then?
I'm sorry Jamie lovers, but it's time for change...
- Thread starter jcpitt
- Start date
I stand corrected.Get your Arkansas straight, we didn't play Arkansas State, we played the University of Central Arkansas Bears.
But.......... So What.
Would being correct on the name of an obscure team from an obscure state have made my point any more or less valid?
But thanks for the correction.
It was a joke. That's why he put an emoji. Larn u sum txtng.
There he is.
I'm not wrong. It depends on your frame of reference. We are trending down if look at 2009-2010 as the peak. I'm willing to ignore a poor year or two but after reaching the sweet 16 several times this will be the 7th season in a row we haven't. That is trending down.
Well, I posted like 3 points, and you said flatly you disagreed, which meant you disagreed with everything. Clearly then, you must also think we are on the path of becoming BC. Why do you think that? I think we're not because there a big difference between going to the NIT and being BC. I also posted I don't think we need to blow up the whole program. You disagreed, so tell me why you think we need to blow up the whole program, since you "disagreed".
I said absolutely not flatly if we are going to state everything in literal terms. I disagree with the assertion we aren't sliding backwards.
Randy Juhl didn't fire Pederson either. That was entirely the Chancellor. Juhl is a great guy, but he wasn't there to cut heads he was just there to steer the ship.
Absolutely means you couldn't disagree more with the whole thing. You know that, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. The word absolutely. That is pretty precise. Absolutely.
You are the one saying I shouldn't take the "absolutely" literally. Holy cow indeed.
I wasn't following the entire back and forth between you. I "absolutely" disagreed with the assertion that we weren't sliding back and trending even. That's it, it isn't a big deal.
I said it wasn't a big deal (i said it was fine you disagreed with my whole post) in my first reply to you, then you got smart. I agree, no big deal. Maybe next time, instead of just flatly saying you absolutely disagree to the whole post, say what you disagree with. Not many more words, but saves these unfortunate disagreements between two posters who really have most stuff in common. I nearly always agree with what you write. Nearly
Probably why Dixon did not schedule Arkansas State
well kiwi you know I'm not one, I've been saying JD needed to go for a good 2 years at least. You and I had some conversations over the fact I want a change and you don't. How are you feeling about JD now do you think he should be kept or be fire?
It's a fruitless discussion (though one frequently posted about). He won't be fired. However, I think in the short term kept and make other changes. I have posted that in other threads.
If we make the tourney this year, that would be 2 out of 3 years. Do you find that to be a compelling reason to fire a coach?
(On a Steve Pederson buyout): "...I will say that the reporting that I've seen widely is very inaccurate in this case...The terms that we exercised were the ones that were already in the contract. There was no negotiation at this point to do anything other than that."

And you board jackals will slink away if Pitt wins. Just as happened when we beat Duke.
I didn't slink away at all. I was shocked and happy that Pitt beat Duke convincingly. Unfortunately, the team did nothing to build on that win and that's super frustrating.
Unacceptable to you?? Who cares? No one is happy...but most of us are willing to let the guy turn it around. Are YOU gonna fund the buyout??? Will YOU buy a few hundred season tix?? Ever hear of Paul Evans??
This new administration hasn't really done anything major except find Narduzzi & bring him on board. How much P5 experience does Scott Barnes have?? Gallagher?? And we are NOT the 62nd team...or even close. All those rinky-dink (Thanks, Jerome.) league champs are much worse. But that doesn't fit your entitled world view.
There was no negotiation because they paid him precisely what they owed him for the unexpired term of his contract- 4 years at $500k per year or $2m smackers . Thank you, Nerdy
Yeah, none of us are here right now. I wonder who he thinks slinked away? Those GD "Jamie Lovers". I hate those guys with a passion, whoever and wherever they are.
NC"
I love your ridiculous labels!
I'm not a board jackal but I am a PITT fan and I want a future for PITT basketball.
I've seen enough since 2010 and even after the Duke win I think Dixon needs a
change and so do we!
One on two off one on two off etc.
NCAAT- 1 one and out and the remainder 2 and out since 2010
No quality recruits since 2010
Losses at The Pete that didn't happen before- fyi I love The Cathedral not Cathy
Pitt basketball fans bailing on season tickets
Low attendance at The Pete
Loss of a portion of the fanbase
The team looks Dixon isn't impacting them much
One players comment summed it up "we played hard at the Duke game for JRob"?
?-Why don't you play hard for Dixon every game? Answer- He doesn't motivate players
or relate well to todays recruits!
etc
Even if we make a run in the tourney I still think its time for a change for both Dixon and PITT fans.
If Dixon stays to the end of his contract term the PITT Basketball Brand will be significantly damaged!
Its over!
A lot of you people are simply afraid of change. Well in this case change will be good!
I don't think so!

I guess you didn't see good teams in 2011 & 2014?? There are speed bumps.....next year we start the upswing. Hell, maybe tomorrow.
We'll see. How did we do in the NCAA T in 2011 and 2014?
Five years of speed bumps and a collapse of winning at the Pete>
That's a collapse!
Dixon has lost the team and the locker room its over! Or if not the PITT brand goes down the toilet!
Did you ever play sports? I played high level football and wrestling in HS and medium level wrestling in college. In those years I played hard for my team and especially for my coaches at both levels.
This isn't happening at PITT basketball. We play hard for a senior JRob in one game and bag the rest of the games and the coach?
One more thing. I watch the PITT timeouts carefully. What I see is Dixon in the middle of the team talking to them and most of the starters are gazing around the arena not making eye contact not paying attention to him! How do you execute a plan if you're not interested in the person presenting the plan??
But we'll see!
