Sean Sutton not fired over losses

Lack of victories didn’t cost Sean Sutton his job. Lack of leadership did.

Good morning, I’m Dave Morris with a NewsOK.com update from The Oklahoman.

That was the headline on the front page of today’s Oklahoman. Berry Tramel
wrote OSU athletic director Mike Holder removed Sean not so much because of
two straight mediocre seasons, but because Holder didn’t believe things
would improve.

Oklahoma Matters

We did something a little different with Ed Kelley’s Oklahoma Matters today.

First, we used the segment to promote The Oklahoman’s football section. It hits newsstands and driveways Sunday.

During the segment, we used video from Nate Billings’ Oklahoma Focus segment from last week. Nate, one of The Oklahoman’s photographers, described what equipment he used, and why, for the black and white photos used in the football section.

Check out the result, pretty cool. Also note the lower third animation used to introduce Ed. Credit to Tanner Herriott for the editing.
