Coach Scott Satterfield

[London 'Cat]

If we don't come up with a victory against BG today then it should be Satterfields last game at UC. I don't care who he's friends with.

That’s not going to be the end of CSS, even though that would be an inexcusable loss. His buyout is too much for UC to terminate his contract during the season for performance reasons. He will coach UC for the rest of this year.

I know LC, I was hoping bearcat nation, with a loss, would be angry enough to prompt a termination of his contract.

does that USF coach have any connection to Ohio? If he keeps winning this season maybe that's who we should be targeting after this season..


A quick google search later and I've seen his name on this board before... I think he was in the running when we hired CSS... would be an easy decision then

Even if the Bulls lose at the Hurricanes, they will be in the CFP if they win out. If that happens, Alex will have his pick of mid-tier suitors from SEC, Big 10, ACC, and the Big 12. I don't like our chance if that is the case.

Coach Satterfield has been named to the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year watch list. Raise your hand if, at any point in the past 2.5 years, you saw this coming. Anyone? No one? Me either.

There are still games to be played.

Oh, for sure. I expect he will fall off the list, and we still may lose a whole raft of games, but the fact that he is currently listed was unfathomable after just the first game this season. I also suspect there are folks who have mixed feelings about us winning right now. I am guessing some folks secretly want the Cats to get throttled over and over to increase the likelihood he would get fired. It has got to be a strange inner dynamic of being frustrated that your team is winning because it means coach would be around longer than this year.

The only reason that brings me hope, and very little hope, is Satterfield has improved as the season progresses. Not in his first two years at UC but at UL, especially 2-3 years in. Maybe he is slow to adapt and change but has finally figured things out. The team has been somewhat lucky, winning games by one possession as opposed to losing those games. College football can go either way with a one score margin. This year UC happens to be on the plus side (except Nebraska) and not the minus.

I never liked the hire... but we are having a great year so far... so count me in that torn category. Let's see how the rest of the season plays out and then re-evaluate... my concern would be if JC gives him a massive contract extension and then Sorsby, Godfather, Royer, and others all go pro and we have 4-5 years of under .500 football and stuck again. I might change my mind if we get into the playoffs or at least Big12 Championship game
