I definately agree he isn't ready for the big time yet, but desperate times call for desperate measures. If Coach and King can't hold the show together, I wouldn't be opposed to them giving Josh Mathews a tryout. The guy is pretty much a light-commentator, but he hasn't really been given the heavy material to work with. Give him Kurt Angle, Edge, Triple H, Ric Flair, Big Show, Kane, etc. and I really think he'll be able to add to the stories these guys are telling.
If I were in the position that WWE mangement, I would put Josh Mathews on as a replacement to Jim Ross until "another suitable one can be found". This gives him the exposure of the big time, but doesn't commit him to it. Sort of like how Late Night with Conan O'Brien started. Conan was supposed to replace David Letterman, but he went out there for a night, and he was so good he stuck. Perhaps Josh Mathews has been holding back.
A few more years in the woodshed never hurt anyone, though.
