I've always been a believer that when taking a new job you should always look at what your next job after that will be, meaning what is the greater possibility if I succeed in this one.
JD can go to a job that has won 8 conference games in 4 years and as good as a coach he is, will be successful and turn that program around. Not saying he will have the same success as pitt as they are so bad currently, but by being competitive and winning some games their, his star shines brightly again.
Right now, he is not getting considered/offered from the level of school he was when pitt was a top program, this is understandable and obvious. Maybe he has a dream school out west, who knows but right now, he is not hot.
By turning around TCU (imagine if they go 500 and make a NCAA tourney in the next 3 years) JD's star will be bright again and possess a tremendous story to tell, look what I did at TCU.
I have no clue/inside info if he is leaving or not, but from a personal brand standpoint, this makes sense.
