Realistic coaching options for 2025...

[BallantyneApp]

At one time someone mentioned to me that Satt had approached the former chancellor about a return. I can’t verify it or give a timeline but assume it was during his time at Louisville.

I heard the same thing and that there was not mutual interest

Yeah if he was advising our targets to NOT take our job that would have poisoned the well with me too

[Bootsy]

Call me crazy, but why would we want another team's retread as a Head Coach?
Haven't we learned anything from watching the Carolina Panthers hire HC's who tanked elsewhere?

Do we know which HC targets he advised?

Heard he told Dwayne Ledford not to take it.

Given they have a lot of family in NC, I imagine the Satterfields wouldn’t mind returning to the state at some point.

[EastHallApp]

I would be all in on a Satterfield return. I don't think it would happen. If it does happen happen...I hope we don't match his salary. He should be paid at this level.

That certainly would be the case. We don't have an extra $3+ million a year in the couch cushions.

I mean, Jerry Moore would fit that description.

That said, if it were a coach who had never had success as a HC, I'd likely agree.

If we're talking someone who has won at the G5 level but struggled at P5, I think that could be a good fit for us.

[AppSt94]

Doug would not hire Satt.

[pop5app]

Doug would not hire Satt.

That sounds kinda personal?

[Bootsy]

FYI- K.C. Keeler is the new Temple HC, according to The Scoop.
Is Coach Huff headed to the sunny South sometime soon?

Regarding Mack Brown’s departure from UNC, this story just gets worse: https://footballscoop.com/news/mack-bro ... final-game

Absolutely it is. There was some disrespect shown towards Doug and his authority during Satt’s tenure that he isn’t going to put himself back in the line of fire. I don’t blame him.

[Appmountaineers19]

Feels like to me the only staff changes that are coming are below SC.

Bad look on the athletics department based on Mack commentary. There are always two sides to the story. If his version is accurate, which I believe it is based another story from a board member that was put out yesterday, not a good look. The public knows he is leaving after state game. As such, potential coaching hires are already lined up. The JMU game pretty much sealed macks fate...and a recruiting class that was in the high seventies I believe.

Unfortunately sounds a bit like what happened in Boone a while back.

I doubt losing 5 straight to NC State helped either. Similar to losing 4 of 5 to Coastal Carolina

No doubt. But 70 spot..and after the game in locker room... inferring whether he should retire or was not connecting to the team....that was the beginning....with some noise at end of last year.

I just can't take him seriously. His main focus is keeping his athletes "alive"? Give me a break. Cheat maybe did him a little dirty, but his martyr claim is ridiculous.

[DenverOfTheEast]

Mack Brown deserved to retire at a proper time - he made UNC football in the 90's - came back to revive it recently but under a different landscape not being real easy (Portal, Covid, NIL)

He's a helluva recruiter. UNC fans will never be 100% all in for football.

If Satt coulda have gotten Cincy to a Bowl game he would have been perfect for it, back home, easier conference, etc.

I think Drink would fit there really well with all the whine and cheese folk. Contract buyouts probably wouldn't work out, Bubba (the AD) needs to get it right and he needs to retire as well.

ECU, UNC, Charlotte all are open -- staff changes in Boone are coming..... news breaking soon.

[Yosef10]

What about Mike Houston?

I follow ECU pretty closely. Absolutely not. Hiring a coach who your fired coach beat 3 times would also be a pretty odd look.

[JTApps1]

No to Satterfield coming back. That rarely ever works. Much of what led to his success here was the continuity of his staff. He's struggled to repeat that success as guys have moved on to other places. The SBC was also easier to win in back then. We need a fresh start IF Shawn is let go.
