Classless. Mike Gundy must have pictures of Mike Holder and T Boone having carnal relations with livestock at the Animal Husbandry Center on campus. No other explanation how Gundy gets rewarded for mediocrity (18-20) in 3 years while Sean gets thrown under the bus for going 39-29 in 2 years.

How about that Gundy is Pickens' & Holder's golden boy who can do no wrong?

Oh well sean sutton sucked and his daddy is a drunk so who cares? Choke State sucks also and i hope you guys have to higher some high school girls coach!!Boomer!!

Apples and Oranges. Gundy will not be outworked and is building a program, Sean was not. Comparing Basketball and Football programs is armchair. Good coaching, hard work and organization is needed for both, but it is much harder to put together an 85 piece puzzle than a 15 piece one. You need look no further than Kurt Budke, who started with very little, but produced a winner. The men's program was on great footing with the Suttons on top. They both contributed to this day as well. Blaming Holder is like blaming the boss who fired your buddy when you know he (your buddy) brought it on himself. It is unfortunate for Sean, but he was given a golden opportunity with a program shortly removed from a final four, great facilities and a big fan base. He did not get out of first round of the NIT. Like it or not, the job pays a lot and like any high paying job, the bar is high.

Check out Comment from Alphadog. He can't even spell hire. Typical. Another know it all shows his ignorance.

I think that all the Sean apologists are glossing over the fact that his team rarely displayed proper fundamental basketball, quit in many games (more 30pt losses in 2+ years than in the prior 15yrs), the disgraceful performance on the road, the inexcusable losses to a very pathetic ou team with an inferior coach, and more importantly all the off court problems with the players. These players never respected Sean and were never held accountable. One more year was never going to change these facts and Holder merely recognized that fact. It is funny that all the media types are decrying this 'unwarranted' decision and the fact OSU won't hire someone better. Their reaction betrays their hatred of the OSU and the hypocrisy that exists in this state. Where was the disgust when Schnellenberger and Blake were fired. Instead of fawning all over Kelvin Sampson for 10 years why didn't they report on the continuing violations he racked up over the years and his always questionable ethics. The media's crocodile tears over Sean is laughable. The only point that they have made that is accurate is that Gundy isn't held to the same standard. Part of that is that the football program was never on the level of basketball when Gundy took over and the standards are different, but the other part is that Gundy is Holder's boy. Welcome to the real world Sittler - life isn't fair sometimes. Now could you please go on to write more of the articles you are best at such as the fawning pieces about Bob Stoops and Joe C.

All this complaining about Boone reminds me of kids complaining about their parents putting them thru school. How many of the above even give any money to OSU???

Everyone go read Tramel's column in the Daily OK. It sets the story straight. Sean had to go. It was time. The team was a mess and there was no improvement evident to warrant keeping him for a lame duck 3rd year.

As a fan of Oklahoma sports altogether it sickens me what has transpired at OSU. Two years is not enough and Sean deserved at least a third year. No wonder OSU WILL NEVER COMPETE WITH OU OR ANYONE ELSE IN FOOTBALL AND WILL WATCH OU PLAY IN BIG 12 TITLE YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT. FIRE HOLDER HE'S MORON!!!!!!!!

How can you justify firing Sean after 2 years with a record of 39-29 and giving Gundy an extension after 3 years with an overall record of 18-19 and an 8-16 conference record? Of his 18 wins 2 are against Florida atlantic, 2 are against arkansas State, montana State, and Missouri state. Gundy's record against Texas, texas A&M, and Oklahoma is 0-9. CRAZY!

Who was Sean?

I just read an article and most of 23 comments telling how the OU folks feel about Sutton, Holder, OSU and T Boon. They don't like it even a little bit and I wouldn't expect anything less from them.
I have a lot of OSU friends and none of them, not even one, has said they were the disgruntled fan the media talks about. My OU friends think Sutton was treated unfairly.... listen guys, let me explain it to you. If I gave you 2 1/2 million dollars over the next 3 years to quit a job you obviously weren't qualified for, you'd be on it quicker than my dog can get on a hamburger and be happy to get it .... and so will Sean.
So don't worry so much Sooners, we got it covered.... go POKES
