In all honesty, BK needs to spread his wings under another HC or else get his own HC gig at a smaller school.
Agreed. It would be a really bad choice by JD as well.. He needs guys who have ties to the regions he will be recruiting.
Don't be shocked if Jones grad transfers with them... I'm not saying this for sure, but rather a guy feeling... Jones allows JD to implement his style and plays more readily helping them to a winning season... Now if a new hire happens with some real promise perhaps he stays, but I got a feeling he is loyal to Dixon... Just keep an eye on that one... I understand he in fact is only one with eligibility that can graduate to move
Agreed.
That's a good analogy... Though Knight still early in career, could still benefit with a few more years then a lower level HC job... But I see your point... Be interesting to see
That would be a terrible decision by both, IMO, but not surprising based on history.
In another thread, I made a comparison between BK and Paul Chryst: just as Chryst came to Pitt to be our HC, and then used Pitt as his stepping-stone to the Wisky job, Knight should go elsewhere to get his head coaching experience. Once he proves himself as a good HC at a lower level, then he'll be a better HC candidate the next time that the Pitt job opens-up.
If Brandon wants to be a HC then he should move on and put his hat in the ring of any vacant HC positions, and that's if he wants to coach his own team!
Point well taken, but as it's an internet message board, 99% of what's written here is opinion - doncha think?
Unless something comes from Chris or Matt, I automatically assume that it's someone's opinion. And even Matt & Chris have opinions, too, but they're extra-careful to label them as such.
If Pitt would retain Knight even as an asst., I don't think there's any way he goes to TCU for the same job. I think Jones transferring is much more realistic.
Not when I see "Knight going to TCU w/Dixon" as the title of the post. Oddly enough I think it to be news I have yet to hear. Simple question mark at the end would suffice and save me ten seconds of my day reading more unfounded conjecture.......Point well taken, but as it's an internet message board, 99% of what's written here is opinion - doncha think?
Definitely. I think I would want a coach who will keep Knight though. Firing Knight might be enough to eliminate a coach from contention. Basically you have to be one of the best recruiters in the country and back it up if you let Knight go. If Knight's gone we will have no recruiting class to speak of this upcoming season.
Oh I agree, but only if the candidate really is a good choice. I just don't want them to settle for a decent hire that fires Knight because we will basically being throwing this year's class away. Now if they go out and get someone who they really feel is a big hire that will bring this program back to where it was and he doesn't retain Knight, so be it. But hiring say the guy from GW and getting rid of Knight, not a good idea IMO. I'm personally holding out hope we get Enfield. I would be totally fine with Enfield and no Knight.
You mean the 72nd rated recruiting class? I say they can stay or leave and if you want to leave don't let the door hit you where the lord splityou!
