By SDS Staff

Shane Beamer has a major vacancy on his first South Carolina coaching staff with Mike Bobo taking the offensive coordinator position at Auburn. Beamer has reportedly already found his new offensive coordinator.
FootballScoop and The Athletic are each reporting that Beamer is set to hire Marcus Satterfield from the Carolina Panthers staff where he has served as assistant offensive line coach.
Satterfield has prior experience as an offensive coordinator as well as ties to Beamer as a fellow grad assistant on Phil Fulmer’s Tennessee staff (2002-03).
n 2019, Satterfield was the tight ends coach for Baylor after serving as director of recruiting for the Bears in the 2018 season.
Satterfield had a brief stint in 2018 at East Tennessee State where he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, before joining Baylor.
Prior to his appointment at ETSU, he served as head coach at Tennessee Tech from 2016-17. In 2016, Satterfield led the Golden Eagles to their first winning conference season since 2011 as Tennessee Tech went 5-3 in the Ohio Valley Conference.
From 2013-15, Satterfield was the offensive coordinator at Temple where he helped guide the Owls to historic marks. In his first year at Temple, Satterfield’s offense averaged nearly 400 yards per game, which was the most by an Owl team since 1979. Temple earned the 2015 American Athletic Conference east division title and posted a 10-win season.
Satterfield also held offensive coordinator roles at Chattanooga (2009-12) and UT Martin (2006-07). In 2010, Satterfield’s Chattanooga offense averaged 430 yards and scored 49 touchdowns, which ranked 11th nationally. During his time at UT Martin, the Skyhawks led the OVC in scoring offense in 2007 and 2008, while also leading the league in total offense in 2007.
