FC - Thad Matta Steps Down from OSU

Believe he was let go. AD Smith said due to lack of progress on the recruiting trail - they lost their #1 recruit in April.

Gotta say - thought he was pretty good. When he had Oden (2x HS player of the year) and Conley - same high school, same recruiting class, and ended up at OSU - I thought he would be unstoppable with OSU, and they were going to build a dynasty.
 
"He turns 50 in July." He looks 60+. His health is more important. I'm sure he can afford to take a break.
 
The few games I watched this year, he looked horrible physically. Really looked run down. Ohio State looked pretty bad at times this year also, doesn't surprise me.
 
Thirteen years, winning .733, but the old case of "what have you done for tOSU lately".

Will receive $9,000,000 for the remainder of his contract.

Sounds like he has had some serious health concerns that weren't helping his situation and certainly would be continuing to impact him ongoing. Seems like he was a decent guy, wish him well.
