Cujo Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Yeah, that was OSU. Luckily for the Cowboys, Sutton made off with just a cut on his forehead. I think he'll survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Turns out he was drunk, and now wont coach the Cowboys the rest of the season and since this may be his final year could be the end of his career.Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Tank, what I heard from ESPNews in the background was that he was cited for a DUI and there was some medicine in his front seat. I hadn't heard the term "drunk," but they did say that OK state law does have a long list of things that can have you as "under the influence" including a lot of medicines.He very well may have been drunk and I'm too lazy to look for an article (your link goes to Chris' site).

Well DUI most of the time means Alcohol it is possible it was the medicine, this is too bad he shoudl not have his carer end this way, but he was planning on leaving soon any way and hsi sone will be the next coach. I heard he woudl have retired after last year but knew this would be a bad team this year and didnt wnat his son stuck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
