05:24 AM ET 04.17 | LSU had some interest; Providence had more. But for Travis Ford, the right fit is Oklahoma State. When Cowboys officials called this week to see if the University of Massachusetts basketball coach would be interested in coming to Stillwater, Ford listened. Yesterday, he accepted. Oklahoma State officials flirted with several coaches who had higher profiles than Ford, including Jamie Dixon of Pittsburgh and Billy Gillispie of Kentucky. The Cowboys, seeking to replace the fired Sean Sutton, then went to Plan B, which included Southern Illinois coach Chris Lowery and Ford. Lowery took himself out of the mix Tuesday night, leaving Ford as the choice.

until the next job comes along. Lowery would've been a much better choice

Oklahoma State bought the Ford because the Caddy they had their eye on told them to go screw.
