Eight days after losing Luke Fickell, the winningest head coach in program history, Cincinnati found its new guy to usher in the team’s transition from the American Athletic Conference to the Big 12.
Cincinnati announced the hiring of Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield to the same position Monday morning. Satterfield will be the 43rd head coach of the program.
Satterfield was largely responsible for turning Appalachian State into a Sun Belt powerhouse after the program’s transition to the FBS. After joining the FBS ranks in 2014, he posted a 47-16 record in five seasons in Boone and won the first three bowl games in school history.
