Houston 11/11 7:00 FS1

Now, back to Houston: The Cougars are another beatable team, just like most of the squads the Cats have played. We need a game with limited breakdowns. UC is running up and down the field on almost everybody, then commit a stupid penalty that extends the opponent's drive, cough the ball up, or some other avoidable error. If they can manage that somehow on Saturday, UC can win. TDECU Stadium isn't exactly intimidating.

The season went "south" with the blocked FG at the Miami game. Such is FB. I honestly don't expect next year to be any better. If there are no signs of improvement, then CSS has to be let go, before we fall into a 20 year abyss of awful football. Remember, St. Luke brought UC FB to great success by year 2.

I don't see Cunningham cutting him loose after only two years, barring a John Brannen situation. Here are the pertinent financial details of a buyout, per Russell Steinberg of "The Boardroom":

"As for the buyout that will be built into his Cincinnati contract, Satterfield can rest comfortably knowing most of his base and supplemental pay is guaranteed. If Cincinnati fires him without cause prior to Dec. 31, 2025, the university will owe him every penny left on his deal, not including bonuses. If he’s fired Jan. 1, 2026, or later, up until the end of his contract, Satterfield will be owed 70% of his remaining pay.

So, let’s say Cincinnati cuts ties with the coach on the first day of 2026. He would still have $11.7 million left on his deal, meaning Cincinnati would have to pay him 70% of that, or $8.19 million."

Bearcatbret's predictor says Houston 99%. Ugh.

I agree with your predictor! In fact I might even up it to 99.1.
