Early: possible replacements?

Mike Houston. Mars Hill grad, Asheville high school coach, a few quick stops in division II at Brevard/Lenoir Rhyne, Citadel HC, and finally JMU where he’s posted two 14-1 seasons and a natty championship within his first two years. This guy doesn’t lose. There’s a reason he pulled back from the UNCC offer after leaking that he’d accepted - he’s hedging his bets that Satt leaves after Brohm fell through for ULL. And he may very well be right.

Every time I imagine the meltdown at UNC Concord I can't help but crack up.

Can we afford to pay what uncc will pay him?

Only thing about Houston is hasn’t stuck around anyplace more than a couple of years. The Citadel only 1 year before taking Madison job.

We have to realize this is likely to be an issue with most candidates we'd hire. They're going to be inheriting a loaded roster, so if they don't screw it up they're likely to get other opportunities pretty fast.

Why do I get caught up reading about Scott possibly leaving EVERY NIGHT. I need my sleep!

[appstatealum]

Seriously, you guys all stress me out. But if I have a candidate I want, Mike Houston is the guy. Him coming out tonight and denying the claim that he "accepted" the Charlotte job is very telling.... A possible shakeup in the G5 ranks is a brewing.

AppSt94, you seem to have an "inside" view of Satt's thought process, and based on my career, I tend to lean your way in my interpretation of the situation. UL has a lot of problems right now, but it has the resources and support (unlike UNC) to course correct in a hurry and Satt has the Gusto to take on a challenge at the right price. GaTech is even more enticing, you would have to overhaul the team from a player and coaching standpoint, but money and recruiting territory would be desirable. I'm sure Satt will remain a candidate for many jobs, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will get the final offers. It is a good situation for him to be in right now.

One scenario I've heard from sources that hasn't really been kicked around here... I'm hearing that there's strong interest in offering Satt the OC job in Chapel Hill with a "head coach in waiting" tag. Mack Brown is a stop gap for no more than a few years, and UNC is apparently a dream job for Satt. First got this info a couple days ago, same source knew of Fedora's firing and Brown's hiring days before it happened. Not sure if the openings at Louisville or GA Tech have changed anything, though.

This was mentioned a few days ago on here. But it kind of conflicts with the rumors of who Mack wants to bring in with him.... Belive I've heard Kingsbury and Chizek

It appears kingsbury is the front runner for USCs Oc. Haven’t really heard his name mentioned for the UNC job since Mack was announced.

Steve Logan coaching the Birmingham Iron. I love listening to him on the radio, but quite frankly, he's a very 'average' coach.

Haven't thought about it. Don't want Satterfield to leave, don't want him to need to be replaced. Historical game this weekend and we have numerous threads most of which are filled with fake news about Satterfield's next move.

Keep burying your head in the sand. Whether we like it or not this is something that needs to be talked about, and I guarantee the athletics department is doing the same.

No one is burying their head in the sand and denying the inevitable. Why is it that you have accepted him leaving a foregone conclusion and any other thought or feeling is worthy of nothing more than dismissive? Grow up and learn to discuss thoughts that counter yours instead of labeling them.

Would you leave your current job for 3-4x your salary without batting an eye? If you say no, you're either foolish or a liar.

If I was living comfortably with my current salary, my family and I were happy, I had many friends in the community, loved the area, etc. I'd turn it down. And, I'm neither foolish or a liar. Then again, maybe I'm too much of a "simple man".

I haven't heard this idea mentioned but I've had this thought too. This would be a pretty ideal situation for SS. Mack gets the program turned around and you take over in a state you know and love to be in.If he fails the blame falls on him and you can get picked up somewhere else as a HC or OC. Luckily I don't think SS is on Mack's short or long list.

Money doesn't buy happiness but as has been already mentioned moving up to a P5 isn't just about the money. It's about proving yourself at the highest level and getting national accolades. Satt will have a tough decision to make, his kids are in their waning years of being at home and you can't get those years back. I think he's going to talk with any serious school about HC openings but that doesn't mean he'd take the job...perhaps he'll take the first P5 HC job he's offered but unless you're in the room with him and his wife when they discuss the implications we're just not going to know what his decision will be.
I hope he doesn't leave but with our loaded roster perhaps this would be good timing for a coaching change so we can keep moving forward...like what UCF has experienced. And I'll say again, he may take an assistant or two, perhaps a recruit or two but he won't decimate our program. A school like UL would look down on our lowly star-rated recruits.

These are certainly factors, but I have no doubt that he wants a chance to be in the CFP playoff....

I realize that and understand the situation Satt is currently in. However, I was giving my personal perspective since the original question was directed at everyone. Basically money is important, however, it's not everything. There are some things in life you just can't put a dollar figure on, that's all I'm saying. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

"Money is an abstract human happiness, so who is no longer able to appreciae the true human happiness, is completely dedicated to it." Arthur Schopenhauer
