Louisville Fires Bobby Petrino / Hires Scott Satterfield

[Briancuse]

If one of Chris/Rob Ash were to take the position, that would be good.

No they can't ever leave rutgirls either one of them

 

[djorange1989]

Hmm. That's probably a pretty good hire.

yes indeed. it is smart to avoid someone when their most redeeming quality is that they are a name (Mack Brown, Les Miles etc) and hire whom appears to be the right guy with not as big of a name, which seems to be the case here

 

[corpjet]

much rather have SS than Brohm there.....and I still despise their program

 

[Cuse69]

looks like its done.

imo Brohm would have been a sure fire homerun who would eventually turn L'ville around to an annual contender for the Atlantic. Satterfield is a good hire, but by no means a home run. I don't think his name would tear up the recruiting trail like hiring Brohm (or even Babers) would have. Probably the best we could have hoped for.

Brohm would have been good but the cost to bring him and his staff to UL was too high for a bankrupt athletic department.

I think this is a great hire; Satterfield is excellent and has great contacts in most of the areas UL primarily recruits.

I am baffled by the Mack Brown here by UNC. Re-treads don’t tend to be successful. Not a fan.

G Tech, you are on the clock...

 

[HOFCeluck]

That’s a pretty good hire.

Satterdays are for the boys.

 

[Hoo's That]

Next year, half our games will be against new staffs.
Louavul - Satterfield
UNC. - Mack Brown
William & Mary. - Mike London (where have I heard that name before?)
Old Dominion. - kept HC Bobby Wilder, but fired nearly all assistants
Liberty. - TBD
GIT - TBD

Advantage Cavaliers.

Advantage Cavaliers.

One can only hope.

 

[Jake]

October of next year UNC fans are going to want to kill their AD for not hiring Satterfield.

 

[TheCusian]

One can only hope.

We’ll see ya in the conference championship

 

[IthacaBarrel]

I know as a Syracuse fan I would much rather have satterfield than Mack Brown coaching my team not even close. In addition, Louisville made a solid hire. Qualified head coach with no baggage with a track record of success.

 

[omniorange]

One can only hope.

Well it's your turn to win the Coastal, isn't it? LOL

Cheers,

Yes. 6 different winners in the last 6 years. Guess Hoo's missing?

 

[texascpa]

And just like that, Louisville had a QB decommit.

I agree with this. I have no idea why they hired Brown part 2 over Satterfield. Satterfield is a really good hire for Louisville.

In his press conference here yesterday and in talking to the team he was incredibly excited and wants to bring championships here. Of course all coaches do. I think he will have Ville turned around a lot in a couple years. Interesting to see how he will recruit. He was Tyra's choice after Brohm all along. Most fans here are excited but some are wait and see.

They already have a ton of talent, they could be noticeably better next year but definitely will be pretty good in a couple years I think.

Wow. London must be on a mission to coach every program in the commonwealth!

[IthacaBarrel]

Great.

Keep in mind there are 75 of "the nations best recruiters" BFD
