Coach Scott Satterfield

What known entity?

I need to clarify my comments for you and London.
I was not endorsing Gino, just stating that we invested an extra 3.5M in Satt by paying his buyout, hoping that hes the right guy. I hope we are dang sure because if there was doubt, we could have stayed internal and gone with Gino the known entity with no buyout cost if we were gonna roll the dice. $3.5M is still a lot of money and we don't have endlessly deep pockets. Its probably 3X what we will get for this years bowl game and thats before conference sharing. The money from Wisc was nice but it would have been great if it wasn't a swap that we then had to send to Louisville.
By the way, if I am reading things right, Deion is paying his own buyout not Colorado. Thats the way it should be so these coaches have some vested interest in honoring their contracts, but thats just not the world we live in anymore.
I hope that clarifies my comments. Sorry it wasn't clearer initially.

Nice interview-I did not recall he interviewed for the UC job last time and apparently was #2

[Rufus]

I didn't like his answer about not really looking at or knowing the roster. How can you take a job without knowing the roster?

In these days recruits go with a coach rather than a school and so I'm hoping some of his recruits for the '23 year will follow him here. I think playing in the B12 would attract many of them as I think the B12 is a better conference football wise today compared to the ACC. He may know of some of the UC recruits as a result of the recruiting trail but don't know them personally. That's how I took it.

Not saying thats how we should have gone, just saying we paid a lot and better be sure hes our guy because we had a know entity for free

"Hello", is there anybody there??

I was referring to Guidugli. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Haven't had a chance to watch, but here's an interview by Chad B and Justin W with Coach Satt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usoW5DCxpIo

Why both from Appy state and both wear glasses

Well there's that...but living in SEC country, I have observed all the teams for a while. Missouri has a good game every now and then and they look like an offensive juggernaut, then they get blown out 3 games in a row, then they have a good road win or play a higher ranked opponent tough, then get blown out in consecutive games, end up right around five hundred, teasing fans that they have turned the corner and will compete for an east division title (like they did when they first joined the SEC) but it never materializes.

I could easily see UC program treading water, trying to stay at .500 or just above and longing for the good 'ol days of BK and CLF. Look at how many years Tennessee (with all their resources) 'wandered in the desert' with a revolving door of coaches until Heupel and Golesh came along.

An internal hire who wasn’t ready for the job.

We had 3.5M in our pocket and an internal hire would have cost us nothing

Wisconsin paid Fickell’s buyout for the same amount. It’s a wash there.

Anxious to see the staff assembled and player retention. Comittments and portal activity gonna be a cluster.
Time will tell on this hire, but one thing we know for sure is we spent $3.5M more than other options for the priviledge of finding out.

For once, I don't have an opinion on whether hiring Satterfield is good or bad. My gut is that the next few years may be really rough. Let's see if he can bring in a few impact players. Seems like a lateral move for him, and usually lateral moves don't end up good.

So who is left to coach the Bowl game?

B.C.

We're good at rough. It's a UC tradition.

There was a lot of sizzle with Tuberville.

That was my *** burning!
