TCU coach Jamie Dixon signed an extension with his alma mater on Thursday that will, in theory, keep him in Fort Worth through the 2029-30 season.

Dixon had been linked to the USC job opening, but a brand new contract puts any doubt about his future at TCU to sleep.

Dixon's tenure at TCU has been historic for the program. He is 160-110 in eight seasons with the Horned Frogs and has led TCU to a program record three straight NCAA Tournament appearances. Dixon also led TCU in 23 of the program's 38 top-25 victories.

Before he coached for the Horned Frogs, he played for them and helped TCU make the NCAA Tournament in 1987. That season, he averaged 12.3 points per game, 3.4 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game, and 1.3 steals per game and contributed 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists in his team's Round of 64 win over Marshall.

Dixon is bringing in the 16th best recruiting class in the country and has a track record of getting busy during transfer season, so all signs point to continued success for TCU basketball.
