A source told ESPN's Doug Gottlieb that Sean Sutton is out as the head coach of Oklahoma State.
Sutton was just in his 2nd year as the head coach. He took over in February of 2006 when the coach at the time ... his father Eddie Sutton ... took a leave of absence following an arrest for drunk driving. Eddie never coached at the school again and Sean took over permanently.
In his two full seasons, Sean Sutton was 39-29 with both campaigns ending in first round losses in the N.I.T.
Sean Sutton was groomed for the job by his dad, which makes this a very interesting case. With "succession plans" being the rage around sports nowadays (Pat Knight at Texas Tech; Mike Hopkins at Syracuse; Jim Mora for the Seahawks, etc.), the fact that Sean got just two years means those plans can be cancelled rather quickly. Many people feel that since these legendary coaches hand pick their successors, those newbies will be given some slack.
Apparently not.
