This is dumb as shit. Why not just hire a coach who knows what he's doing ?
Clearly they really wanted Matta but he’s unable to physically coach so they’re paying him to sit behind a desk

This kinda looks like an all hands on deck to save the program. If they are paying Matta enough, he might stick around for 5-7 years until Woodson retires and then replace him. Or keeping Matta close if an NBA offer interests Woodson.

If Matta is not well enough to coach now, he won’t be in 5-7 years. If he was well enough to coach now, I doubt he’d agree to be Plan B if Woodson goes to the pros.
Matta is definitely open to returning. He lives in Indy area. He was very close to taking our job.
Purdue Assistant Coach Micah Schrewsbury to Penn State to replace board favorite Pat Chambers.
I would think Matta is beyond the odds on favorite at IU. Fucking Covid!
Stevens wouldn't take the job this month. Bennett and Few ain't going nowhere. Isn't Beard a TX guy? Why would Drew leave a school that has money and no rules? I'm guessing there is a massive buyout for Oats' contract extension he signed less than a month ago.
Beilein may be too old.
Just like Wake's job, I think IU's may be Matta's to take or leave.
Matta is fifteen years younger than Beilein. He has deep regional ties, lives in the area and is itching to get back into coaching.
If I were handicapping the IU job. it would look like:
Matta 4/5
Beilein 7/1
Moser 10/1
Pope 12/1
Kelsey 15/1 (if he wins an NCAA game or 20-1 if he doesn't)
HOF Wes 25-1 (unless he wins in The NCAAT, then 12-1)
Believe it or not Moser is only one year younger than Matta.
If something crazy happens in Boston over the next days or if IU wants to offer Stevens $100M/10 years, these odds could change.
Kelsey versus Forbes was a tough choice.
If not for Covid, it was 90+% that Matta would be our coach today.
I'd guess Moser is #2 choice behind Matta at IU and #1 choice for Marquette.
It's not about the x's and o's, it's all about the Jimmies and Joes. Woodson is an answer to an image problem that has plagued IU recruiting for years. It's past time to move beyond Bobby Knight and past glory. Woodson addresses this problem.
Reading IS fundamental. It does not say which part is not true. You're just unable to read anything through a lense that doesn't reinforce your own bullshit.READING IS FUNDAMENTAL....Read the SI qutoe:
Ohio State coach was set to become the new leader of the Hoosiers before the deal has fell through on a health screening, multiple media outlets are now saying that original story is not true."
The story about his health ISN'T true.
