Satterfield is North Carolina through and through. If he comes to UL and wins, he will be a top candidate when 67 year old Mack Brown retires at UNC in several years. Do we want to be a training ground for Carolina?
Downside of Satterfield
- Thread starter racehorseowner
- Start date
We can’t hire coaches fearful of where they might jump next. You hire the best you can get. Period.
You never know for sure what will happen in the future. Look what just happened for Purdue, maybe Satterfield would turn out the same way. He might even feel spurned by UNC, and he and his family might end up liking it here. I'm warming up to him, but right now I'm just putting my trust in Tyra.
Or maybe Satterfield restores the program, leaves and then Jeff Brohm decides the timing is now right. I’m certainly not going to be concerned if the guy is successful. The worst coaches are the ones no one wants (and they still have a $14M buyout).
We are not going to lose a coach to freaking North Carolina.
You can't really make a coaching decision based on possibly losing them down the road. If you are worried about that, you end up making decisions like UNC just made... hiring "Coaching to the Oldies".
No lmao. UNC will not outbid us and I feel like he isn't very warmed up to them after they didn't even give us a call. This is a much better program.
My point is that we have no idea how things will turn out, but I’m not going to be concerned if we have a successful coach.
Denny Crum was to be here 5-6 years until John Wooden retired. 47 years later, Denny is still here!
I will always be a Denny fan, he was/is pure class. Louisville has a lot to offer as a University and a city. GO CARDS
If we give Satterfield his first shot in a P5 program,he might fall in love with the city and University like so many other of our coaches that have done the same thing and are still here.
Sure,he could be successful and have greener pastures down the road,but we've currently got coaches right now, that have passed on those greener pastures.
It could very well happen with Satterfield.

This. Purdue’s biggest worry going forward. ‘Cuz if U of L’s new coach doesn’t work out, Brohm would be primed to accept the coaching job here in ~4 years.
Who cares? Everyone searching for a lifer. News flash. They don’t exist.
