Louisville coach Scott Satterfield has been hired to become the next football coach at Cincinnati, the school announced Monday.
Terms of Satterfield's contract were not announced but a source told ESPN that Satterfield received a six-year deal.
The hire is a compelling one regionally, as the schools are nearly 100 miles apart and at various times have been conference rivals. The schools also will play each other in the Fenway Bowl on Dec. 17.
The hiring of Satterfield is a statement for Cincinnati as it enters the Big 12 next year. Satterfield takes over for Luke Fickell, the best coach in school history.
