Report: Louisville hires new head football coach to replace Bobby Petrino
The Louisville Cardinals missed out on hiring alum Jeff Brohm to be their next head coach, but they haven’t been left empty-handed.
According to reports, after Louisville missed on the Purdue coach, they turned their attention to Appalachian State’s Scott Satterfield.
Now, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal, Satterfield will be hired as the man to replace the recently fired Bobby Petrino:

Satterfield is 51-24 in his time at Appalachian State, which dates back to the 2013 season. He’s built them into a solid Sun Belt squad, winning three straight conference titles.
Will he be able to dig Louisville out of the mess it became this year? Only time will tell.
