“Eddie Sutton had superstar written all over him. I could tell the first day I met him. It was the end of July 1959 and we both had just interviewed for teaching and coaching jobs at Tulsa Central High School. Eddie had finished his playing time at Oklahoma A&M and I had finished my first year teaching and coaching at Shawnee High School. We both received calls wanting us to interview for the openings at TCHS. Tulsa Hale and Tulsa McLain had just opened and took coaches from Central to fill those spots. That left the head basketball, wrestling, two assistant football and the track coaching jobs open.
