TCU to Xavier isnt a lesser job. Its a step up....and in a lesser league. I'm just using Xavier as an example though because I think this is the year Dixon jumps.You said Buzz would be interested in Pitt because the SEC is too tough. Now you have Jamie Dixon leaving TCU because the Big 12 is too tough. Please tell me what coach has left a P5 conference for a lesser job. Not being fired but leave like Buzz did at VT for A&M. The only one I can think of is Underwood from OK St to Ill.
Point is coaches don't leave because their conference is too tough.
