If Brohm wasn’t ready to drive his Honda down I-65 then this is the right decision.
I’m sure many will say “boycott next season”. To hell with that - if he doesn’t produce it’ll take care of itself next year. I’m a UofL football fan. I love going to games. I love the sport. I love the camaraderie of my fellow fans.
The worst thing we could do is turn into a coaching revolving door. I was as pissed as anybody after the UK game but to not acknowledge the progress that has been made and the youth of the roster is foolish.

We finally have a good base of talent. We're not losing much, bringing guys back who played, and bringing guys in to add depth. WE also have one of the best QB's in the nation, he's gonna have his 2 RBs back, his best WR healthy and a lot of good options that played all year, a great line to block for him, and all the chemistry will be in place. THey'll know what to do and what to expect from each other, they can improve upon mistakes. They'll know what it takes in big moments.
Clark being back gives us a possible elite option at corner that can be game changing. Montgomery is back healthy. More depth. Another year older. It's gonna be better.
Let's kick a** in this bowl and look forward to a BIG 2022!

The way I look at it Tyra was never going to fire him. The UK game just made his decision more unpopular.
Satterfield better do a hell of a job of selling the fans on his plan

Wow so we'll get everybody back from our 30 point blowout loss to UK, can't wait to see how they do again next year, WTF. We seen how satt handled the games with these players already, why is it such a good thing that oh well satts staying, at least we have the players back. I'm super glad that we'll get most everyone back, but he HAS to hire a offensive coordinator and NOT make game decisions for our team. Satterfield doesn't adjust accordingly to what is going on, On the field. We need a new offense and defense coordinator. Just SOMEHOW get satts hands OFF this team, since Vince won't make a move, I think if he hired a new defensive and offensive coordinator then that is the only way he brings fans back to him, saying like ok, I'm not calling plays next year. I think we're all tired of qb runs in the RedZone being the ONLY play he knows how to call when we get down the field. Then maybe it'll work and everything will be fine, or maybe it will be Peter sirmon and EVERYBODY will hopefully get fired then, if we do .500 again next year and play uninspiringly. But ya I just didn't ever get the just give him one more year argument, AFTER THE UK GAME. why keep him one more year if your just gonna let him go the next year after another 6 or 7 win season.. Which seems to be our ceiling with him... Just boot him out now and get started on making calls to Brohm or someone. Do we really think with the same exact players and same coach, he's just gonna figure it ALL out next year and we're gonna win 10+ games in 2022??? I really don't believe satterfield is capable of that. He is recruiting SMALL ball, we seen how that goes against SEC opponents, I think it was ERIC CRAWFORD who said in a radio interview that the size difference is SO obvious when UK players are working out on one side of the field and uofl is on the other, when you're down on the field. He said that wasn't the case with Bobby 1.0 players and def Charlie Strong players, but since Bobby 2.0 to now the size difference has just grown and grown, why can't satt go out and try to get some of these big div 1 athletes?
Which is good that he didn’t make an irrational decision based on 1 game.
Satt probably evaluated the actual team/program. He inherited Bobby Petrino and a 2-10 nightmare and had to hire a coach.
He probably looked at if the program today is better than it was when he took it over? It is and that’s not even close to a debate. It’s going to get better next year with all we have returning.
I mean maybe someone like Brohm saw that Purdue stayed loyal during his rebuild after going 4-8 in year 3 and after 3 straight losing seasons. And maybe he sees a fan base here that isn’t accepting a rebuild and worries about his legacy here?
Because Vince has the ties with the Brohm’s and Vince would hire Brohm if it was an option. Purdue stayed loyal and pays him well, he’s building something. Now if he want to make a move, he probably will move up to a bigger job.
Brohm didn’t come, so do we fire Scott and tear it all down? No.
I know we have discussed Brohm all week. But I don't know why really. He's got PU just outside of the T25, they had a good year. If he wasn't coming to Louisville a few years ago why would he now?
I suspect there will be changes within the staff and as somebody has already said this will be looked at this time next year and the situation should be clear then.

I mean Neeli made the call it seems.
To be honest, Jeff saw the chaos 2 years ago and wanted no part. Scott probably experienced this chaos and just isn’t happy behind the scenes. Vince can’t to his job.
These issues start with Neeli. Say what you want about Vince, he isn’t Neeli’s guy. University president’s want their own people. Ramsey loved Tom and it all worked fine.
It’s dysfunctional at the top and Neeli isn’t gonna change nothing.
But Brohm probably wasn’t coming. Vince probably had a week to try and sell her on Brohm, probably wasn’t a guarantee.
Satt is a good coach. He’s done the job he was hired to do. It will be better next year. We as fans have to back these kids and not go away, because all the dysfunction of the last few years combined with a fan walkout will do damage.

Remember how close we were to beating Wake, Virginia, Clemson and Nc State? Blew the big 4th quarter lead against Virginia, blew the late 4th quarter lead against Wake and blew a 1st and goal with a couple minutes to go against Clemson. We were also down just one score in the 4th quarter against NC State.
Every one of those games Louisville had the talent to beat these teams and only lost because of the ineffective play calling by Satterfield, especially when the Cards were leading. Only the Ole Miss and UK games were the Cards not competitive.
Louisville also was hit hard by the injury bug, losing their best receiver in Smith for the season as well as their two best defenders in Montgomery and Clark. Yet, they still played hard and did enough to win 6 games.
If only the Cards won 3 of those 4 games? The Virginia loss was a fluke as much as it was a choke job. Cards got the annual hose job by the refs with that FG right before halftime against Wake. And the absolute ridiculousness of not scoring against Clemson with a 1st and goal at the 3 yard line. The 2nd time this has happened against Clemson since joining the ACC.
Cards would be 9 and 3 and even the bad loss against UK wouldn't damper too much what would have been a great season. Maybe even a ACC championship game against Pitt?
So we were close. Damn close, but for some reason it's just not in the Cards when it comes to good fortune. That and a scared offensive play caller when he gets a lead in the 2nd half.
I have high hopes for next year until players start dropping like flies and Satterfield continues to blow leads with his lame play calling.

But in 2019 we won close games against Wake, UVA, and BC that flipped our season the other way.
We had older guys that year. We don’t have a lot of experienced guys right now, but they grow into experienced guys.
Sometime we all get mad about play calling and strategy, but sometime players have to go freaking execute.
Like the defense wasn’t doing it, but we still lacked depth and size. We can’t just lineup and play a certain way, especially with our top corner and Monty Montgomery out.
On offense, we but up plenty of points to win. Sometimes we didn’t execute. But that doesn’t mean it was just the call. Sometime the guys don’t make plays.
Remember Lamar in 2015? He got better with time.
Remember all those young Charlie guys in 2011? The loss to FIU? They grew up and a year later they smacked Florida down in the Sugar Bowl.
Returning talent works. And it’s not returning guys that got smoked ever game, it’s returning guys that lost all their ACC games in the 4th quarter.
Well, Satterfield being conservative with the lead in the 2nd half is not opinion, it's fact. Now maybe one year down the road that will work but it didn't this year and it's pretty apparent by every single Cards fan I know.
Against Clemson, Satterfield had to remember those close losses when it was 1st and goal? Yet, he called the same plays and got the usual results.
I still don't really know if Satterfield a great head coach or not. I haven't seen many bonehead mistakes. I just don't believe he should be the play caller as well. There's a reason most head coaches don't do it. He's doing two jobs at once and I'm sorry but I haven't seen anywhere that Satterfield is a play caller savant.
He should stick to being the head coach.

Sometimes you lose close.
Bobby sure couldn’t cash it in twice against Clemson in 2015 and 2016 with the chance to win. Yes Clemson was better, but so were we those years. Seems like Clemson can just close out games no matter the coach? There’s a lot of teams that get close to Clemson, but don’t cash in. Clemson’s defense was elite and we did score some points, we just didn’t play defense that night. They made plays and we didn’t.
We closed out FSU this season. UCF was a nice win late. Wake, let’s be real that we got cheated. UVA our kicker just sucked. When you’re in a position to win, I don’t blame a coach, sometimes players have to make plays.
Sometimes I’ve seen coaches be conservative when they don’t believe in their team’s ability to close. We just were tired late in games. Scott was trying to eat clock and get out of there before the wheels fell off. I mean Malik had turnover issues and made some dumb decisions. I think Scott tried to simplify things for him and it did work as we didn’t make dumb mistakes like usual.
Amen brother. I’m with you. Not showing up is giving those who would love for UofL to disappear just what they want. I’ll be in my seat just like was during the Cooper, Kragthorpe, and Bobby 2.0 years. Those our my Cards not Satts, the BOT, or Bendapudi. They’ll all be gone and I’ll still bleed black and red!!!
Bottom line, bad/avg teams find a multitude of ways to lose games. Each unit will have breakdowns/inconsistencies and it will be random when the problems strike. One week you can't cover. One week you turn it over. One week you stall in RZ. One week special teams kills ya. One week you can't stop the other team. Occasionally you will see full system meltdown.
I will continue to buy my season tickets and support the Cards.
Put Neeli in some booty pants and a weave and watch those recruits come sprinting in.
I need to stop calling out fellow posters on this site; but I must confess I wonder sometimes if some of those posting have any realistic understanding as to what Satterfield inherited when he arrived, and just how young this 2021 roster truly is?
I hate UK in everything, and no one on this site is anymore disappointed in our performance, or the outcome than myself. However, I reminded myself of just how far Petrino allowed us to fall on the defensive side of the football, even before we had a mass exit from the few who could have stayed to help after Bobby left. I am not going so far as to predict beating the Cats if the series continues in 2022, as they return a lot of their key offensive skill players. What I will predict now, is a lot more success next year based on the returning starters and the experienced depth behind them.
Watch the transfer portal closely, as I expect to see this staff attracting some key positions of need filling in over the next several months. There are several critical requirements, and large NG/DT head that list.

I have you “ignored”, but somehow you popped up on my screen in response to my post.
Not exactly NC; as there is nothing in my post inferring that “nobody knows anything about UL” …….. it’s just a few on this site like yourself who are clueless.
If you had a valid argument about the content of my post, rather than your usual snide attacks, you might garner some respect.

The real question is, what did ya'll hear down at Mike Linnig's? Or down at Bonnie & Clyde's Pizza?
