I agree.

But some people, a lot of people, act like it's absolutely absurd that a guy like Dixon would even consider the LSU job, as if Pitt is sooooo superior to LSU in basketball. I just don't think the discrepancy is that large.

LSU has plenty of plusses in it's favor, to build great program, if the right coach is in place.

Jamie Dixon is a pipe dream. Can't see him leaving a Big East power in Pitt for LSU.

Also in some cases of successful HCs, some are regional recruiters where the school sells itself, and some national recruiters like Calipari,etc..

Jamie Dixon, though very solid HC, inherited a nice situation(one he helped create and build) from his mentor Ben Howland.

Can he recruit nationally, or were most of his and Howland's Pitt teams built via regional talent that wanted to either play at Pitt and/or Big East?

LSU needs a charisma hire..Pastner, Tyndall, JJ, Dixon, Bennett, etc..just not sexy.

Scott Drew, until yesterday's announcement of long-in-review findings, at least had some Dale Brown televangelist charm and sell abilities..which LSU Hoops desperately needs.

If only Bruce Pearl weren't show-cause!! Maybe the job opens again by 2015?
