All of these guys are possibilities


Dixon and Wright are massive longshots. Even the biggest UT homer would be out of their mind to think otherwise

He took them from absolutely nothing to three strait bigE champ games, winning the first one ever for Pitt. That is the very definition of building a program in four years.

He took them to the NCAA two out of four years, and never made it past the sweet sixteen. As I said, laid the foundation.

Dixon turned them into an elite program.

IDK, it would be worth seeing RammarJammer lose his man crush for Grant to leave for UT.

That would be pure entertainment

So UT will be this year's Oregon where they get every good coach in a country a big raise

If you take a look at the NC State board they have a lot of talk about Wright, Dixon, etc. They probably have a better shot at guys like that, but still a long shot to say the least.

I think UT fans are vastly over estimating how good the UT gig is.

while true, I see an epic meltdown in his future. It has potential to be great

Howland is no Nick Saban. Though the Miles/Dixon comparison is accurate.

Alabama is rolling in money, if we want to match what Tennessee offers Grant then we will. I could see Grant leaving for an elite job but he's not leaving for Tennessee.
