Boone, NC (Sports Network) - Interim football coach Scott Satterfield will
reportedly be named Jerry Moore's successor as Appalachian State's head
coach.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported late Thursday that a source said
Appalachian State and Satterfield reached agreement on a contract earlier in
the day, pending approval by the university's board of trustees Friday.
Satterfield, a 39-year-old former ASU quarterback and long-time assistant for
the Mountaineers who returned last season after three years away from the
program, was named interim head coach on Dec. 2 after the Southern Conference
university announced Moore's contract would not be renewed following 24
seasons.
Satterfield spent 11 seasons as an ASU assistant from 1998-2008, left for
assistant positions at Toledo (2009) and Florida International (2010-11), and
then returned this past year. He served as the assistant head coach and
offensive coordinator in Moore's final season.
Satterfield played for ASU from 1992-95, starting 27 games and earning All-
SoCon first-team honors as a senior.
The Mountaineers posted an 8-4 record and earned a share of its seventh SoCon
title in eight seasons this season. They qualified for the FCS playoffs for
the eighth straight season.
