UTC’s former offensive coordinator Marcus SatterfieldAfter four seasons as the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team’s offensive coordinator, Marcus Satterfield is headed to Temple University.
Satterfield was hired by new Owls coach Matt Rhule and will serve as offensive coordinator at the Philadelphia school, UTC coach Russ Huesman said Thursday night. Satterfield and Rhule worked together at Western Carolina in 2005.
“For Satt, this is a great opportunity,” Huesman said. “It’s a lot more money and he’s going to be a coordinator in the Big East. The guy really wants him bad, and they know each other very well.
“You can’t turn that down. Nobody in their right mind would turn it down.”
Huesman said Satterfield told him Wednesday he was leaving and the search for a replacement already has begun. Huesman said he had reached out to a couple of possible candidates to gauge their interest and will likely talk with more during the American Football Coaches Association convention in Nashville next weekend.
