Satterfield to Cincinnati?

[Saint3333]

Bringing a good group of fans to Montgomery next weekend would be a positive sign for Satt to stick around.

Out of curiosity, how many people posting here still live in Boone?

I'll have to defend the Cincinnati area. The Northern Kentucky area outside Cincinnati is a great place to live. Yes, I would prefer the High Country to the Cincinnati area but NKY is on my short list.

Regarding Satterfield, I think it's just a matter of time before he moves on. Maybe it won't be Cincinnati though and we can keep him for another year or so.

I think the better question is how many would live in Boone if you had a job that actually paid something

Or if jobs were readily accessible in one's field.

I think it's pretty safe to say we all love Boone. Cincinatti is still a pretty good place to live even through your black and gold colored shades.

I don't agree. It can get pretty cold in the winters up in Cin........

Never mind.

Since this is such a hot topic, who's your pick to take our HC job should it open?

As an App grad born in Cincinnati (but grew up in NC and live my entire adult life in Virginia and who has been to most of the US's large cities) I'd like to defend Cincinnati. It is one of my favorite towns in the Midwest, and while I personally would not live in the Midwest, there are a lot worse places to live than Cincy.

As for Bill Cunningham, while he is more a politics guy than a sports guy, he has been around forever and knows a lot about the local community. More importantly WLW is the leading news source in the city. The guys at that station know the local sports scene and is the Reds flagship and at least was the Bearcats station. If someone from WLW is saying it's Scott, I would discount it.

Something I've thought about Scott is he has been been at App for all but 3 of a 20 year coaching career. I could see that being a deterrent against a P5 hiring him. "Can you win elsewhere?" I could see them asking. Unless he is an App lifer, he may have to go somewhere we think is a lateral move before he can land a top job.

I would have liked to have seen what Elliot could do up here.

More what I was going for. We have roughly 4K graduate per year and a lot would like to stay but there are no jobs. I for one have been looking since I graduated in 09.

Elliott would have been my first choice too, I'll go with Lonnie Galloway.

For now...

Woody would by far be my first choice. Take a page from Houston.

As of July, I'm back in God's Country (and loving it).

For those saying Satt should just hold out for a P5 job....can you name me a coach that has been plucked from the SBC for a P5 job at a school they have not previously coached at? It's a serious question. I can only think of Freeze and Malzahn and they both coached at Ole Miss and Auburn respectively. I don't think Satts path to a P5 job is by staying in the SBC unless he plans on running off a handful of outright conference championships in a row ala Chris Peterson. Obviously I don't want Satt to leave but if he wants a P5 job down the line and is offered the UC job....he should take it.

How many previous Sun Belt coaches (including Freeze and Malzahn) had multiple double digit wins seasons? Bowl win next weekend gives Satt back to back 10+ win seasons.

First time for everything....

So put yourself in a coaches shoes. Do you want to try to get a promotion by taking the "first time for everything" approach? Or go to a league where 4 coaches in 2 years have been called up to the Big Leagues and you're getting paid 3-4x as much?

How many have also been fired or forced to resign as well from that same conference, including the last coach at Cincy? Putting myself in those shoes I'd look at all of the variables, not just the money factor you've only noted. Being successful at your current school where also you have history (alum / former player / former coach), I'd be more inclined to wait for THE opportunity that moves the needle. As I've mentioned before in this thread, somewhere like Houston, USF, or UCF would move the needle within G5. Otherwise, I'd be shocked his name doesn't come up in similar fashion next year with P5 schools with another season like this one.

Butch Jones, Brian Kelly, Mark Dantonio. I'd say they landed pretty good gigs after using UC as a launching pad. And I would hope he wouldn't go into the situation with the mindset he was going to be "fired or forced to resign". UC is just as good a job as Houston, USF, and UCF. Recent history has shown if you succeed at UC (and plenty have) you can get yourself a top notch P5 job.

Woody will go wherever Satt goes, along with the rest of the staff, except for dale jones who seems pretty settled here

No way he'd rather be the DC at UC as opposed to the HC at App, especially at his age.
He would have been my first choice, too.

Woody strikes me as more of a John Chavis type, defensive coordinator until the end of time.

UC has a nice stadium but the campus is a mishmash of architecture. Not attractive al all. Only thing going for them is Cincinnati Chili. 5way!!!!!!
