He did a lot for OSU basketball and should be remembered for that. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Super weird. I hope it's not health-related. I read someone say that if Matta coached at Nebraska, we'd be putting up a statue of him RIGHT NOW. Too true. He's been amazing for the Buckeyes. We've never had a coach remotely that successful. Quote Link to comment

Hiring Billy Donovan would be great just for the gator tears alone but I doubt it happens. If OSU and Matta parted ways months ago, they probably could have gotten Archie Miller.

OH HSKR FAN Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Jaws: Could Chris Jent be a guy the fanbase could get behind? Probably not too appealing for Gene Smith. Quote Link to comment

He wouldn't be my first choice since he hasn't been a successful head coach at any level. This is a top 15 coaching job that won't be easy to fill with a top 15 caliber coach since it is June. I would have to image that Smith has someone in mind if this happened now. Quote Link to comment
