Brady also had Tyrus Thomas, Garrett Temple, and Glen Davis gift-wrapped to him, so that always helps
Dixon was apparently the darkhorse for the LSU job, but Pitt gave him a fat raise before he pulled the trigger. I think the ACC parity plus Pitt's fan support might be enough to have him change things up.
And yeah, for now I'm a huge fan of the Johnny jones hire. I think you're right about connections. Pastner relies heavily on one city, while Jones has great Texas and national ties. Fans are just too impatient and want greatness early on. We've come a long way from two 5'8" guards and a tuba player getting serious PT

Yea - if you can bring in elite players year in and year out and just coach a little bit you will at least have a chance. And at the very least Jones' guys play hard as heck for him. Talent + effort is going to win you some games, regardless of how rag tag your offensive sets may look at times.
