He would be a good hire I think. I thought he had some serious health issues,

hopefully he has worked through them.

They could certainly do worse. I’m assuming we didn’t get the real story about him resigning.

Well yeah. Mata

is a HR hire for them.

He's OSU's all-time winningest coach and has been to multiple Final 4's.

Damn, if Matta takes that job, the SEC will have really loaded up on championship level coaches. He would join Howland, Barnes, Martin and Calipari who have coached in Final Fours, and Mike White and Bruce Pearl have been to Elite Eights. Amazing considering the sorry group of coaches the SEC had just a few years ago (Darrin Horn, Rick Ray, Trent Johnson, John Pelfrey, Donnie Tyndall, etc.)

How could you leave out Tony Barbee and Johnny Jones from that hall of shame?

Haha. There were so many, I couldn't think of them all. Hence the etc. Stan Heath, Dennis Felton and Kim Anderson also should join the Mt. Rushmore of terrible SEC basketball head coaches.

Worst program in the league, by a lot.... would be a huge hire for them.

Side note... Remember when Stansbury used to pwn Xavier (and Matta)? Until it actually mattered that one time??

One reason I was surprised

LR couldn't survive in the NBA was he dominated David West, who had a pretty lengthy career in the league.

Ole Miss should definitely hire a coach named Thad.

Probably ask him to go by Thaddeus J. Matta, III.

The word was is the back was so debilitating, he couldn't travel and recruit which was the biggest reason they slipped toward the end. Early OSU Thad Matta is a homerun hire, end at OSU Thad Matta will win the press conference but be a bad hire. I know this makes me sound like such a MSU homer but I don't care: I really don't think it matters who they hire. Their team is going to be awful for a few years regardless, they'll never be a bball school that nike gives 1 iota of a **** about, and they'll never recruit the AAU circuit in the MS/AL/LA region well because it's on lock down. AK never got in and eventually gave up and went 100% all-in on the transfer market because he had to.
