Jamie Dixon Signs 10-Year Extension With Pitt

Mar 23, 2013 8:31 PM

Jamie Dixon has signed a 10-year contract on Saturday that could keep him with Pittsburgh well into the next decade. 

Dixon has been the subject of rumors on a potential move to USC.

"Pitt and Pittsburgh are home," Dixon said in a statement. "My family and I feel blessed to be part of such a great institution and wonderful city. It is the people who truly make a place special. I could not be surrounded by better players, staff and administration."

Dixon is 262-86 in 10 years at Pitt and has the highest winning percentage of any coach in Big East history. 

Dixon replaced Ben Howland in 2003 when he left for UCLA.
