Sutton, OSU Live for Another Dayl

The rumors about Sean Sutton's future just won't go away.
It seems every press conference for OSU and OSU's opponent has at least a question or two about Sutton's future as Oklahoma State coach.
Pat Knight, a longtime friend, was quick to defend Sutton after OSU beat Texas Tech in the Big 12 first round on Thursday.
At this point, it seems kind of silly that Sutton needs to be defended.
The Cowboys have won six of their last eight. They've looked terrific for much of the final month of the season, except for a devastating home loss to Oklahoma.
Sutton's future should not be a debate. He's earned the right for another year.
If at this time next year, the Cowboys are a No. 9 seed in the Big 12 and not in the NCAA Tournament, then Sutton's job should be in jeapordy.
Until then, he should be given every opportunity to make the best of what has been a difficult transition from his father's era to his own.

Give it a rest will you. Did you ever think that there might be more to judging the effectiveness of a coach than wins and losses? For that matter, Sean has not done all that well in the W/L column anyway, at least to OSU standards. Let those who know what's going on (Holder and the administration) do their job. When there is a story to tell, get an interview. Until then, leave the judging and telling a man how to do his job out of it.
