A Satterfield story

One group of UNC boosters and fans (yours truly among them) favored Satterfield for the UNC job. Here is a little story that help some of you get over your jitters.

Satterfield is from Hillsborough, NC, which like Chapel Hill is in Orange County. He grew up almost in UNC's backyard. Mack Brown never recruited him, nor did any other ACC coach. He went to 1AA App St before it was a power. He started at QB for 3 years. His senior season was App's first great team: 12-1.

He was App QB coach when it won 3 consecutive 1AA/FCS National Championships. He left because he wanted to be an OC. He then was brought back as App OC in 2012. Now here is the story, which I heard in a podcast on IC - the UNC 24/7 site, told by longtime Inside Carolina writer Buck Sanders.

Everybody who knew App football knew that by 2011, Jerry Moore was on his way out, within 2 or 3 years. Buck was at some football writers event in Asheville before the 2012 season, where the then App AD came to speak and glad hand. Buck knew the guy already and cornered him about the App plan to deal with Moore and a new HC. Buck said that the App AD told him that when Moore was going to leave, however that came to be, he as AD would get the entire staff in a room and tell them that if they unanimously could agree on one of them to be HC, then that would be the new HC and all the staff probably would stay. But if they were not unanimous, then his search would be opened wide.

We do not know he did that, but we know that Satterfield was bought back as OC knowing that App was about to move up from 1AA/FCS to 1A/FBS. And we do know that Satterfield was hired as HC very quickly, before App moved up. Satterfield was a 1st time HC who at the same time led the program up to 1A/FBS. App chose to 'ease out' Moore before the move, and hired Satterfield to lead the move. And he did it brilliantly.

Satterfield is a LEADER.

Indiana

I went to Assembly hall yesterday. I started at IU but finished at UofL so i have no hate for them. There was a young man in a Cards jersey near the students who was rooting hard. He and another man hollered out Go Cards when Romeo was shooting FT and the students assaulted them with Asshole chants and throwing water bottles at the younger man. No intervention by the police who were right there or ushers.

The coaching chance will save UofLs ath. dept big money

SS said quite a few of his deff. coaches had many chances to go to P5 schools(Woody-GT) still some
stayed with ASU. Those who stayed can now benefit. UofL overpaid for what they got. Now the AD can get a better deal for asst. coaches
UofL DC- VanGon. $964,416 ASU DC- Brown $200,000
Ward $375,000 Ivey $150,000
OC Gallaway $607,500 OC-Ponce $132,575
Petrino $200,000 Jones $150,000
VanG and Gallaway each made more than SS's asst.combined. ASU's Brown was cited for being
one of Am. best asst.football coaches under 35 years of age.

Man, Im try'in

not to get too wrapped in this team cause you know, we are in a year with a first year coach. The talent is not what it usually is and this is going to be a rebuilding year. BULLSH!T. This is fun again. We aint bad. Our team plays harder than all our opponents. We're not the most talented bunch be we're not bad. Today the best player wasn't the top 10 recruit Romeo but instead a kid named Nwora.I think I love Louisville basketball again. Thank you Lord! I knew it wouldn't long. GO CARDS!

Good game ... tough loss ... but we grew some more today. I hate IU. Smug a$s fans.

I hate losing to those bastards. More home cookin' than at Cracker Barrel.

But a good game. In a tough environment. I think we learn from this and get better.

Looking at the schedule, I think there are some long weeks buried in here that will tell the tale of just how far we can go this year. There will be time for serious practice, to improve the little things, and have Mack systems fully in place (theoretically). 5 games at home .. 19 days off.

12 - 12 - Lipscomb
12 - 15 - Kent State

6 day break

12 - 21 - Robert Morris

8 day break

12 - 29 - Kentucky

5 day break

1-6 - Miami

Have we ever had that much time before playing Kentucky? I know they have. But it seems like we always play a game 2 or 3 days before we play them. Anyway .... I hope to see improvement in the team in this time, as they will have unlimited practice time, at least during the 8 day break before Kentucky ... and maybe they can really fine tune things. All it takes are a couple of lapses, and you lose a close one. As happened today on some defensive switches.

But I am very encouraged by the play of this squad. And I expect them to continue to improve going forward.
