The guy hasn't coached a single game in 3 years, so he's not exactly a sure thing.
Doesn’t Matta have some fairly serious health issues? I thought that was the reason he stepped down from Ohio State and why he isn’t coaching now.
To be fair, the dead corpse of Thad Matta would be an improvement over the current coach.

Matta stepped down because of health issues. He isn't coaching now because payments from tOSU would stop. His health would need to be assessed, as well as his willingness to return to the stress of coaching. His payments from tOSU end in May 2020. He may be more interested in coaching (and regular paychecks) starting about then.

I'm kind of dumbfounded by the Shaka thing and the idea that we should be excited to have a chance at him. So we're pumped he got drubbed so he'll get canned and we can hire him? The guy that just got drubbed? I don't get it.
I'd rather pursue Matta, a proven coach in the Power 6. Or a younger guy looking for his first shot in the P6.
Yeah, I was a huge Shaka fan back before Texas, and I would have taken him last year too after Matta or Oats, but the longer he's at Texas, the more the bloom is off that rose.
