Sean Sutton out at Oklahoma State

Sean Sutton is out as the Oklahoma State coach


That's the decision of OSU athletic director Mike Holder, who opted to end Sutton's two-year tenure after a 17-16 season that concluded with an NIT loss to Southern Illinois. That setback pushed Sutton's record to 39-29 since formally taking over for his father Eddie.
Neither Sean nor Eddie could be immediately reached for comment.
A source told CBSSports.com that Holder was long been determined to remove Sutton and make a run at a marquee name with the blessing of high-powered booster T. Boone Pickens, who does not have a strong relationship with the Sutton family. The source said it is unclear who will be OSU's next coach, but that Holder (via Pickens' money) is prepared to aim high to see whether he can lure Kansas coach Bill Self back to his alma mater.
Self played basketball at OSU.
His wife, Cindy, was an OSU cheerleader.
And though it still seems far-fetched that Self would leave Kansas for what is considered an inferior job at Oklahoma State, multiple sources have insisted it's a real possibility, something Self would consider.
