Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford is on the hot seat (http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/12590918/oklahoma-...) and Buzz Williams might be a target if Ford is actually fired.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are considering the possibility of firing coach Travis Ford after the team was ousted in the first round of the NCAA tournament for the third straight year, sources confirmed to ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman.
The chance of Ford being fired is "50-50," one source close to the situation said.
The move would trigger a buyout worth at least $9.6 million, according to the Oklahoma newspaper, which reported the amount as the remainder of Ford's contract.
Long time Tulsa World and The Oklahoman sport columnist Dave Sittler (now retired) reported Buzz Williams would be at the top of the Cowboys' list were they to make a move.
Source: If Travis Ford is sent packing, look for Virginia Tech's Buzz Williams to be on OSU's very short list of candidates. Good fit.— Dave Sittler (@DaveSittler) March 31, 2015
Could be semantics with Williams' buyout. Some say 7 mil, others insist it's dropped to 3.5. Still, would OSU pay even that plus 9.7to Ford?— Dave Sittler (@DaveSittler) March 31, 2015
Buzz watch is the new Bud watch.
