TCU, Pitt's Dixon closing in on deal, surces say | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Mendez seems to be locked in on this, but his salary number for Dixon is wrong. Dixon's base pay is $1.4 million/year, with a ton of incentives. He made $3.2 million in 2014 because he raked in over $1.7 million in incentives and bonuses.
A tweet from CBS reporter Gary Parrish indicated interest on Dixon’s part in the opening in Fort Worth.
At TCU, it is believed the feeling is mutual. Sources close to the discussions indicated Sunday night that the sides were closing in on a deal and that Dixon was trying to assemble a staff with Texas ties. An announcement could come Monday or Tuesday, one person close to the TCU program said.
