Sutton: One season only

By Staff     Jan 5, 2008

? Eddie Sutton, who came out of retirement last week to be San Francisco’s interim coach, has no intention of remaining on the job permanently.

“I am giving my walking papers when this season ends,” the 71-year-old Sutton said.

Sutton, who retired as Oklahoma State’s coach after the 2005-06 season, said his priorities remain a pair of fund-raising projects in Oklahoma and spending time with his wife and grandchildren.

San Francisco announced on Dec. 26 that Jessie Evans requested a leave of absence and would step down as basketball coach. The Dons (4-10) have lost their two games with Sutton on the bench. He has 798 victories in 36 seasons.
