Stillwater, Okla. ? Former Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton may take a year off, but he plans eventually to return to coaching.

In an interview Tuesday with the Tulsa World, Sutton said he had been focusing on his family since resigning as the Cowboys’ head coach on April 1.

“With me, I want the best situation where my family and I are happy, whether it be a head coaching position or an assistant coaching position,” Sutton told the newspaper in a story on its Web site.
