Hope it's Satterfield.Probably got fight GA Tech for his services
Nobody was thrilled with John L either, yet he took us bowling in year one.
Good lord it’s a FCS record. He inherited a traditional 1-AA powerhouse team from Gerry Moore and just continued their success. Not sure he can build a team from the ground, especially at the D-1 level. I mean he hasn’t been recruiting that talent level.The guy has a helluva record. One losing season (his first) and nothing but great seasons after that. No, he doesn’t move the needle big-time but what do you do?
"But what do you do" is the reason for all of the frustration. Lets face it, UL isn't a destination job or even a high profile gig. We are all realizing that the best we can do is a Sun Belt coach who's claim to fame is taking PSU to overtime. The program is in such shambles that it can't lure its native son in. Let that sink in...The guy has a helluva record. One losing season (his first) and nothing but great seasons after that. No, he doesn’t move the needle big-time but what do you do?

Always remember where Louisville has been in the various conferences and then look at what App St has accomplished at their level. They have been very good. Give him more resources then you can reasonably project he will be successful at Louisville.What is it about Satterfield that makes him such a hot property. I know very little about him other than he coaches at a very small program.
Does he have connections with P5 level recruits, coaches, media? Is he big enough for this stage? Yes, he’s proven himself but at a very low level of college football. Some will move the needle more than others but I don’t see the fan base getting excited about this hire. Not crazy about poaching AAC coaches let alone schools playing below that level.Always remember where Louisville has been in the various conferences and then look at what App St has accomplished at their level.

FYI----no one will move the needle.
Ok. PJ Fleck?
Fleck kicking your butt this year really left a scar!Not sure if you are being serious or not, but the guy took a bowl program at Minny and ran it into the ground in a year and has kids transfering out at an alarming clip. As someone who wanted him when we got Brohm, I would go another direction.
Right now, Venables, Babers or Day look like the best picks. All have success at big time P5 schools.
21-38 as head coach at Mississippi State and asked to resign. Now considered retired. Again, does not move the needle.Maybe Sylvester Croom?!
A little birdie told me that Dexter Manley is looking to get into coaching and has some ties with someone in the athletic department. Supposedly he is under consideration
The most important take from this article is two things. He is Carolina to the core but when the Tar Heels fired Fedora, they went to a retread in Mack Brown instead of “promising Mr. Satterfield” Boone is a laid back, sleepy town and Scott would be a fish out of water in the Ville.
Great write up and thanks for providing. Sounds like a great coach but just don’t know where the recruiting would come from. I doubt that we have been battling him for recruits. Also, NC passed on him and took back a recycled Mack Brown.
I think this will be a bad hire. Reasons:
- he’s basically coached in same place
- has no experience recruiting at P5 level
- has a staff filled with a lot of lifers
- runs an offensive scheme that we do not have the line play to run
- said he prefers living in small towns, not cities
I really hate to diss this guy, but this looks like another Kragthorpe to me.
Babers is not good. Do we want a guy to go 4-8 2 out of every 3 years hear just to have one decent 9-3 year?Right now, Venables, Babers or Day look like the best picks. All have success at big time P5 schools.

I think you can get better for cheaper IMO. And I wouldn’t say it’s on the decision makers yet. Would you have paid Jeff more than $6 mill? More than $5 even? I think we made the smart play. Let him win a big 10 title before he earns that money.Of course, because we can get him on the cheap........the decision makers at UofL blow.
Day would be here for 1 year max. Urban is about to give up the ghost again supposedly and he is next in line.I'm going to keep screaming it until it comes to fruition but Ryan Day is the steal right now if we could get him. Would take Chip Long too.

How do we know he can win? It’s too much to gamble unless you pay him like $2 million. He’s never been a head coach and is likely to bolt early. Stability is something we need. Especially if that coach is a proven winner. I like Day, but he’s just too risky at this time.Worth rolling the dice. Worst that could happen is we get a few decent recruits, a postive buzz and a couple million.

Day, Venebales, and even Fickle would move the needle for me. Not anyone else mentioned .Unless there is someone out there we don't know there is no one that will move the needle. That is the reality. Your recruiting angle is a really good that is what makes Brohm miss painful. He would have instantly recruited at a high level. All these other coaches are looking at minimum 3-4 years to get back to average if they don't recruit well.
Why didn’t North Carolina hire Satterfield, who is in their own backyard ?
