Evan Conley?
- Thread starter TheRealVille
- Start date
Afraid the kid can’t throw and he can’t run. He has literally done nothing on the field this year. He’s waisting a scholarship. He and Turner need to enter the portal and find a new homes.
He does look a little thicker around the waist.....I agree he is wasting a scholarship.
U
Funny you said thicker around the waist. I made the same comment to my wife. It’s as though he’s quit knowing he’s never going to start. I think when he got here he actually thought he would start. And when he realized he didn’t have the talent he was done. Just AWAG
Does he get any snaps in practice or does he just hold a clipboard?
I think he got a NIL deal with Little Debbies and the rest is history
Seriously, Satterfield needs to be getting one of the underclassmen ready this Monday, as there is no question that Malik is vulnerable to injury, and Evan is not the answer. Syracuse and Duke are both winnable, but not with Conley having to fill in if Malik cannot be 100%.
Probably the most deserving criticism of Satterfield is the lack on recruiting in the QB room. Conley is going to be a good coach/leader at some level but he isn’t a D1 QB.
Have to hit the portal. Who knows what Cunningham will do next year. His skill set is pretty unique.

To be honest, if Conley is indeed the primary backup, it’s possible that he could do better in a different situation like starting a game instead of trying to beat Clemson for the first time in 7 tries. Looking for a positive!
Connelly did great as a backup his freshmen year but this is the first time he has gotten into a game since then. He hasn’t developed at all since then I am not sure it is all his fault. I can’t remember any quarterback getting into a game in the past couple of years.
He surely would perform better if he practiced with the first team all week knowing he was starting. Still, you're backup has to be able to perform at any moment, especially when you're starter runs all the time.
The more I evaluate Coach Satterfield the more I see Steve Kragthorpe. A lot of head coaches from mid major programs try to take the next step only to fail for a multitude of reasons. It's hard to maintain a winning program at the power conference level.
I mean as hot as Luke Fickell is, he still hasn't made the jump. Will he fail? Look at Norvell at FSU. Frost at Nebraska.
Maybe Satterfield will stay on for 9 years like Stoops at UK? Many figured Stoops would have been fired by now, but would UK just not get another mid major who would probably fail? Might as well let him stay if he wants to.
Will UofL eventually go this way? Can they even find a coach who would not look for greener pastures? I thought before and still do that Jeff Brohm would be that coach. But keeping in the way things have been going with UofL football, the timing just wasn't workable. Brohm didn't want to leave Purdue hanging. Something I believe he definitely wouldn't do to his Alma mater.
But kinda hard to see it working out in the future. I'm resigned to the reality that Louisville football will be led by mid major level coaches until they're successful enough to become elite level coaches. Louisville is simply not elite.

I was at the Wake shootout game down there two years ago when he came into the game late and won it for us. Heck, he even ran for about a 30 yard TD. You regress when you don't play I guess.
Not playing. Watching the staff recruit other QBs heavily. New OC and QB coach this year.
If you think those 2 are close to the same, not sure what to tell you. Krag took a top 15 program with tons of talent and destroyed it. CSS had 17 WR's and 8 O linemen and 8 D linemen to start with......I am critical of some things he has done, but that comparison is NUTS!
And honestly think about it, Krag had Brohm, Douglas, Urritia, etc. and was playing in the Big East and couldn't even get to a bowl game. This team we have now would've run through that same schedule in 2007.
The point isn't Satterfield is exactly like Kragthorpe but the ineffectiveness is. What are you going to think if the Cards end up 5 and 7 and miss another bowl game? The last coach to miss post season two years in a roll was Kragthorpe.
So come on guys, be honest with what you're thinking. Regardless if Satterfield is not as bad as Kragthorpe his results are just as unacceptable. Both were touted as up and comers and were successful at mid major programs. Satterfield in my opinion hasn't proved he deserved the promotion.

Uhm no.
Kragthorpe inherited an Orange Bowl team with some of the best talent in program history and we went backwards. All while playing in the Big East
Satterfield inherited 2-3 good skill players, a terrible offensive line, and the worst defense in college football. Oh, and he enters a roster that didn't recruit on defense of offensive line, several guys transfer out, and he didn't even get to have a recruiting class in his first year that sets him back even further. Oh, and we're in the ACC now too.
Maybe Satterfield isn't great. But the "It's year 3 and I don't care about circumstances!!!" just ignores every bit of detail. There was not a coach we could've gotten that would've turned it around quickly. I mean there were folks here that wanted Dino Babers, would that have been better? Brohm wasn't coming here. Maybe some unproven coordinator would've done the trick?
If we would've went 4-8 or 5-7 in 2019, expectations would've been much lower. I mean we were hoping for a bowl by year 3 with Satt when he was hired.
With me it's mostly about Satterfield the offensive play caller. I agree that as a head coach he should get more than three seasons, especially with what the covid mania caused.
This season's 4th quarter disasters are on him because he's also the OC. If he wasn't the one calling predictable and overused plays, I could only criticize him for not firing the inept offensive coordinator.
So I will amend my criticism a bit to say please coach Satterfield, let someone else call the plays.
