I had a thought I posted about on twitter that I wanted to elaborate a bit on but I’ll start with a few caveats. First, Jamie Dixon is a great coach and the odds are whenever he’s replaced the new coach probably won’t be on his level. Second, I do not advocate firing Dixon; he has earned the right to try and get this program back to where it was a few years ago.
But, do I think he will turn it around? Doubtful.
My thought is this: coaches, with a few exceptions, have a limit on how long they can succeed in one place.
