Probably a few years too late, but Thad Matta is stepping down.

Great coach that arrived at OSU too late in his career and whose health started affecting recruiting and on the court results.
Other coaches were actually telling recruits he was dying.
He got to coach a team to the finals. Too bad they couldn't win for him.

Pitt can go fuck itself
Guy graduates from Pitt in 3 years, with a 3.9 GPA, and wants to transfer. Pitt decides he can go anywhere but ACC schools (like UNC). Despite having GRADUATED. That's some bullshit.

If I were a lawyer, and I have a soul so I'm not, I would use this as a great example of how colleges treat athletics as a business, and thus, players should get paid.
If education is the priority, and the student's needs, then why would it matter where he was transferring? This is clearly about competition, and thus, would make a strong counter in a lawsuit about players' rights.

This rumored hire doesn't excite.
Maybe he'll be great, but his track record hasn't been spectacular.
Thing is this is Archie Miller's dream job and he just took the Indiana job two months ago. Matta should have been let go immediately following the season, not in June. Our AD Gene Smith is an idiot. He cost us a national championship by allowing a 6-6 team to go lose in a bowl game, which prevented a 13-0 team coached by Meyer the following year from playing also undefeated and crazy overrated Notre Dame for the title. (We were banned from a bowl, but wouldn't have been if we had self imposed the year prior.)

McDermott turned them down.
I think he played that very intelligently. Probably got a raise and gets to remain a big fish in a little pond.
I just hope Gene Smith doesn't now make a panic hire like Michigan did with Rich Rodriguez.
There have been rumors from the word "go" regarding Billy Donovan. He's great friends with Meyer, their wives are friends, and rumors from the NBA say he's very unhappy coaching the Thunder and Westbrook. I think he's the dream hire.

Mark Titus is awesome:
OSU fired best coach in school history to get turned down by a guy with 0 career Sweet 16s. But, you know, "it had to be done. It was time."

Johnson issued a public statement Tuesday saying he should be immediately eligible to play in Chapel Hill and that Pitt was wrong to block him.
He said he appealed the school's position during a May 2 hearing and was soon granted permission to "immediately receive" a scholarship at another ACC school, though he was also told he must sit out and "serve a year of residence" due to NCAA rules.
But Johnson said the NCAA had determined that the residence requirement doesn't apply to graduate transfers. Rather, the NCAA said the bylaw requires athletes to be either immediately eligible or "totally denied" from attending a school.
In its statement, the school cited that rule interpretation as a reason to "take a less restrictive approach" and grant Johnson's release.

Now Holtmann is the rumored candidate.
I have no idea how I feel about that. Definitely a better hire than McDermott.

The whole situation is fucked.
Matta should have been asked to resign immediately following the season and Archie Miller should have been hired.
Firing Matta now means most of the great coaches are unavailable.
I would never take away the good things Gene Smith has done for OSU, but I could argue that between costing us a title in Meyer's first year and this terrible firing, not to mention the Randy Ayers years, he should be replaced.
