Tom Herman is accepting the Florida Atlantic job. Did UC not want him, or he didn’t want UC? Will be interesting who UC hires.

He was told more interviews of others to be held with no definitive timeline to decide; he took the bird in hand.Quote:

So two questions for everyone this A.M.....
1) Did you see who UC hired?
2) Are you now making plans to watch the Fenway Bowl??
I would feel bad for UC, if I could stand them. What a terrible hire...better get used to being irrelevant againQuote:

Satterfield was a good coach at App State. To be honest I'm a little surprised he didn't do better at Louisville. When he got the job I remember thinking that the team he was leaving was currently a lot better than the team he was going to, but that he'd get them going. He did AVERAGE. I don't want to get carried away and say he did horrendously bad, but it certainly didn't jump off the page as being GOOD.
Boring hire. At this point with expanded playoffs, the only goal for a team like UC, assuming they truly want to be with big boys, is to make that final 12 each year. Obviously, that won't happen every year, but that's the measuring stick.
You upgrade the conference, you upgrade the expectations. Not much different than us getting to a Final Four.
Hilarious.Quote:

Full disclosure I’m a Louisville football season ticket holder. No one is sad to see him go, he’s an average medicore coach with zero personality. Nice guy, not much else.. sounds a lot like Steele.Quote:

I'm a Louisville fan, and I think he was fine. Didn't deserve to get fired. But not sad to see him go. After four years, I'm still not sure what the identity of Louisville football was supposed to be under him.
As for 'Brew's point about people saying "You just can't win at Louisville", I suppose people have short memories these days, so maybe they'd forget that a number of different coaches have won a lot at Louisville. Hell, I've watched Louisville win a Fiesta Bowl, a Sugar Bowl and an Orange Bowl under three different coaches.
Yes, they have. I do remember that. It was a short time ago. But now there seem to be people that occupy key leadership roles that...well...are less than ideal. I bet Satterfield WANTED out. The fans may have wanted him out too, and if that's the case then I guess it's a win-win. And it wouldn't shock me (as hard as this is to believe) to learn that Brohm does not want in. At least not right now.Quote:
