It looks like Doug Gottlieb is one step closer to his dream of becoming the head basketball coach at Oklahoma State.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Goodman, Gottlieb will get an interview for the position tomorrow.

This is unlike last year, when Gottlieb openly campaigned for the job but never received an interview.
Gottlieb has been vocal in his efforts to coach the Cowboys since it was announced that Brad Underwood was bailing on the team to head to Illinois.

Gottlieb also campaigned or the position last year before Underwood was hired. While we’ve heard no other updates on who Oklahoma State has interviewed, one could assume this hiring process could be drawn out with the addition of Gottlieb into the mix.
This update comes moments after it was announced that Gottlieb was joining Fox Sports 1, news made official on FS1’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd.
