When he parted with the Buckeyes, Matta mentioned "trying to get healthy" as a reason. He battled health issues for much of his time in Columbus, including emergency back surgery in 2007.
According to one source close to Matta, he currently is in much better shape physically and is rejuvenated after dealing with back and foot issues.
"He wouldn't take any job," the source said. "But he'd possibly consider coming back for the right one."
13 d1 head coaching jobs are currently open.

IF you are coaching basketball in Oxford, Miss. there certainly is a lot less pressure than in Columbus, Ohio. They gave Kennedy 12 seasons to show his stuff. But it's not stress free. He hit the door after the first losing season he ever had there.
I always liked the guy because he came off a gig in Cincy where they are trained like sick dogs to look down at us, and he rose above that and was not afraid to schedule us.
