PITTSBURGH — Jamie Dixon isn’t going anywhere but back to work at the only head coaching job he has ever known.

Pittsburgh and Dixon reached an agreement Saturday on a 10-year contract that could keep him with the Panthers well into the next decade. The deal comes after speculation surfaced that USC was targeting Dixon, a Southern California native, for its open job.

Dixon said late Saturday evening he had been approached by the administration recently to put together a new deal, and things accelerated in the last few days as his name continued to surface.
