SOURCE: Scott Satterfield to be Announced As Next Head Coach at App State *CONFIRMED*

Before I begin, this is a blog, not the New York Times. I don’t have editors, fact-checkers, confirmed sources, or any of that. If any newspaper wants to quote this blog as a source (it’s happened), let me know so I can stop reading your newspaper.

That being said, according to one main source and a combination of other less specific sources (sounds legit!), Scott Satterfield will be our next head coach. To give you word for word what my main source says:

…the decision has been made. It’s Satterfield. The plan is to announce after he returns from the Shrine Bowl.

After the Shrine Bowl you say? Well that part makes sense, since he definitely is/was at the Shrine Bowl (@WinTheGame = Scott Satterfield):


Headed to Shrine Bowl practice. Excited to see some great players! Can’t believe it’s been so long since I played in this game! Great week!

Other sources, including App State’s student radio show, have said that the new coach will be announced this week and that Scott Satterfield was interviewed this past weekend:


Sources tell us that the new head football coach at #AppState could be named as early as tomorrow or as late as Friday.

It’s not official until it’s official. Don’t shoot the messenger if this ends up being wrong, I’m just passing along what I hear. But everything, and I mean everything, is pointing to an announcement that Scott Satterfield will be our next head coach.

_______

In other news, two emails from AD Charlie Cobb to Coach Moore and Chancellor Peacock, regarding Moore’s forced retirement, were obtained by a newspaper via FOIA request. Interesting to say the least.

UPDATE

This story has been CONFIRMED by the Winston-Salem Journal. Coach Satterfield will be announced as the new head coach tomorrow.

    I think most people knew Satterfield would eventually be the new coach. Congratulations to him, we are looking forward to the future.

    On the conference realignment side, I feel that maybe it’s alright that we didn’t rush in for a conference invite. The conferences are looking like chaos right now and who knows who could join or leave next? Maybe it’s a good thing (or maybe it’s not) that we haven’t had a confirmed an invite yet.
