App State football coach Scott Satterfield given Contract Extension
....pretty much shocks most of App Nation after egg laid last night.

I approve

What other choice at this point does App have?

If it's true that Moore left a big mess on the OL to be cleaned up then showing him he door at this point would be crazy.

Doesn't surprise me. I actually like Coach Satterfield, but disagree with some of his decisions
and performances so far. Especially last night.

Then I may surprise you when I say this is not a bad thing at all.

This transition is not easy in a lot of ways. Satterfield inherited a divided team and worked in a divided athletic department , he dealt with numerous off the field issues last year, and has in motion a plan for our future that clearly the folks in charge signed off on.

He needs adequate time, and, more importantly, needs to know the university is backing him. I'm glad this has happened. We need to rally around Scott, this team and the whole athletic department right now, because there is turmoil.

He told us flat out that this year was going to look a lot like last year on the field, yet somehow many fans chose not to hear him.

I'm glad that AppState said: "We have your back."

Oh, there are several good things about his contract extension. Recruiting for one. Will help him in that. Plus his salary needed to be raised since he was hired at the FCS type level. Additionally should stop a lot of talk about his being replaced.

I think AppState knew exactly what they handed over to coach Satterfield. Most fans and message board gripe queens have no idea. This was an important step, and it has been reviewed and implemented by people that actually manage people and know what is needed in times of change.

Usually good coaches can turn things around quickly. If App is not a solid team by the end of this year, I'd say Satterfield is a problem.

And yet you could go to MMB and find tons of those not satisfied.

I doubt the contract was drawn up today. Takes a long time. This was most likely in the works long before the Southern game.

But yet probably has an extension. Not upset by his extension, yet bewildered in the BOT taking the pressure off so soon in the season. Especially with App not having a permanent AD right now. Would have thought they would want the new AD to be on board with something like that. Have faith that Satterfield will eventually build a great program that produces winning teams year after year, just a weird move.

If it was on the agenda which is better. Vote or table it? Which message is better?

Otherwise it's another 3 months before they meet. A lot can happen in the season in that amount if time.

Hence the use of the term "gripe queens". It's shameful quite frankly what is said on that board, most of those folks haven't a clue. What's embarrassing is what our own "fans" say about the coaches and players on MMB and AppFan. It's sad.

The newspaper article just says he was given an extension. Where is the 4 year extension coming from? I only see a Texas State poster saying it is a four year extension. He has two years left on his current contract. I highly doubt he would be given an additional 4 years making 6 more years under contract.

This was at the quarterly BoT meeting. This was happening no matter the result yesterday. He was just getting his new FBS contract that was guaranteed in his original deal in Dec 2012. The timing is very coincidental.

That makes a lot more sense if it were part of his original contract agreement.

T thought he really blew the fourth down call very early in the second half when he went for a fourth and four instead of kicking the field goal. App State had ole mo on their side and a field goal would have extended their scoring and got the team in good position with a lot of time left.

I agree, they were taking the crowd out of the game at that point.

With our kicking issues GSU would have probably blocked the kick and returned it for a TD. I liked the call. Show some confidence in your young QB and see how he handles it. If he makes the pitch we get the 1st down. He'll learn from it and make the right read down the road. That decision didn't cost us the game.
