EDIT: Edited the title with more up to date info, its NOT Matt Canada

It'll be Satterfield, which is okay.

Never said it was a good chance, but yeah I agree. Good to have some hope occasionally though

According to Adam Rittenburg there is a third candidate as well. Either Louisville is posturing for contract negotiations, despite having no cash from which to guarantee a coach's salary, or Scott expressed interest and turned down the job after consulting with his family and other mentors. Louisville isn't a great job right now and they just performed terribly with what is likely the best coach in program history.

Might not be. Doesn't make sense to interview other people after Scott unless you are negotiating numbers and don't like what Scott is demanding or Scott turned them down.

The mystery candidate is still a mystery.

https://www.cardchronicle.com/2018/12/3/...-candidate

On Monday morning, Football Scoop reported that Tyra was meeting with the mystery coach later in the day, and that it was interim Maryland head coach Matt Canada. That report has since been refuted by ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.

I guess. Or it could have gone in the main thread for Satt and UL. I have been watching this closely. Almost as close as the TXST hire.

My guess is Louisville wants to have the upperhand in contract negotiations. If Satterfield believes he is the only candidate or at least the clear front runner, that puts him in a position to ask for a higher salary during negotiations. If he thinks he is one of many candidates, he doesn't have that ability.

They likely made an offer with a stipulation for time to accept the offer or it expires. It seems likely that Scott hasn't accepted the offer yet, with the deadline approaching, and Louisville is expanding their search because they have heard Scott is not favoring the change or he outright declined. They wouldn't claim that a decision would be announced today if they were still negotiating numbers.

Also, he has all the leverage regardless of what Louisville says. He isn't jobless. He has a good gig at App and the only motivation to leave is salary, according to most people. So unless he is jumping up and down for the job and would accept less, he likely made a pitch for his salary and has all the leverage to stand firm at that request. It doesn't help Louisville that they have let it leak that he is the front runner. Regardless of if Louisville actually interviews someone else, they have no leverage in the situation.

If Sexton actually allows Louisville to talk down an offer, Satterfield needs a new agent. Make an offer, stand pat. Scott can go back to App with the most talented roster in program history for 2019, likely be close to being ranked in the Preseason Top 25, and find another gig in 2019, should he so choose.

This seems like a positive outlook, so im inclined to agree, for depression sake

It isn't a positive outlook, it's the same stance I take in a job search. I currently have a good job, i'll speak with you, but another opportunity will likely come along if you aren't able to meet my demand for pay. Either match what I request or I'll decline. The leverage isn't in Louisville's hands no matter who they interview because it's clear they want Scott and will pay him what he asks if he stands firm.

Otherwise, the job isn't worth having regardless because it's a rebuild in the ACC which will feature the return of Virginia Tech, a rebound in Miami and Florida State, and Clemson who is now set for the next two seasons with their new QB. Not to say that he needs to back down from a challenge, but this is beyond a challenge. Can Louisville guarantee his contract for 5 seasons? Can they fire without buying out his contract?

The Petrino situation has left them cash strapped and the Athletic Department is still reeling with the Rick Pitino situation. To me, it isn't ideal when you could have another 10 win season at App next year, bring in a 4 star running back recruit, and likely be front runner for positions with better financial viability as well as program stability.

DJ Williams (#36 running back). 3 Star by 247, picked up SEC offers recently including UGA. If he stays with App it's possible he could leap frog everyone if he comes in to work and picks up the offense. Was upgraded to 4 Star by ESPN.

5-10 210 pounds. The type of back App has been missing. Bulk him up to 225 and let him go to work. With offensive line play, skill players, and the QB situation improving. App should be able to beat UNC next season and compete with USC should Scott stick around.

Would've hoped for Houston, should Scott leave, but he chose ECU.

I remembered reading about that guy, but didnt realize he got bumped up + the SEC offers. Hes committed, but i wouldnt be surprised if the coaching **** causes him to decommit.

If they aren’t offering $3/year wait for the next one.

Obviously the mystery candidate was named Ploy as in ploy to negotiate better with Sat!

Never fall for the mystery candidate bit. Mystery Candidates are people who throw their name into the ring to test the waters, but want to do it without their current school knowing they might be testing the waters elsewhere, because it might effect their current job.
