Brandin Knight situation not identical to Jamie Dixon's

Now that Pitt swung and missed with fan favorite Sean Miller in trying to replace former head coach Jamie Dixon, other names are surfacing as potential candidates.

One that is gaining steam among the fanbase is assistant and former player Brandin Knight. Knight, FWIW, has a lot of people in his corner. Dixon was said to endorse him for the job and several former players have come out on his behalf as well. It's a move reminiscent of when Dixon was hired himself after serving as Ben Howland's assistant before Howland up and left for UCLA.
