Oral Roberts head coach Scott Sutton is a wanted man. According to multiple sources, he was in Atlanta yesterday interviewing for a job. Which job remains the question. Some are reporting that he met with officials from Mississippi State, while others have said he met with representatives from Nebraska. He may in fact be meeting with both! Why Atlanta? It happens to be the home Parker Executive Search. It sounds like they may be using their headquarters as a central location to meet with potential candidates, and Sutton may not be the only one. I’ve heard that over the next few days, as many as four other coaches are expected to interview for one or both of the jobs.
Sutton is the son of legendary head coach Eddie Sutton. Sutton led his team to a 27-7 record and a spot in the NIT this past season. In 13 seasons at ORU, he is 250-162. His name has also been mentioned with the search at cross-town Tulsa and as a replacement for Matt Doherty at SMU.
