I'm happy as well. But if someone comes and offers to triple my income I might find it in my heart to move on.

Ah yes I remember when Fritz said he loved Statesboro's southern charm and close-knot community. *moves to NOLA a few months later*

Scott grew up about 3 hours to the east near Chapel Hill, NC and I think he wife is from the next county over either north or south of Watauga County, which also is in the mountains of North Carolina. It might be his wife does not want to move away as much as anything and she loves being near her family. The Satterfields have spent time in Toledo, OH and Miami, FL so it is not as if they have not given the "away from the family" a try.

There is a lot of thought that Charlie Cobb left for GaSt due to his wife being from Atlanta.

We also had a coach in Men's Basketball coach, leave, return a few years later and then leave for UNC-Wilmington after one season. What I heard was that his wife hated the mountains, and wanted something more than Boone. In fact she may not have even moved to Boone from Charlotte.

Even when these jobs pay a lot a spouse can have a huge pull on family decisions.

All the above is speculation on my part as far as spousal influence of course.

It may be that he is happy coaching at his alma mater. Boone is a great place to raise a family. Like most any college town it does have cultural events that much larger cities would have without some of the problems that large cities have. The worst part about Boone is that there are no railroads to watch and the nearest Amtrak station is two hours away in Greensboro, but I am not sure if Scott likes trains as much as I do.

There is a lot to that. I don't think Ron Hunter leaves GSU for instance unless a Power conference downtown university on a major metropolitan area comes calling.

I guess in Satterfield's case yup had better hope some MWC or Power conference school in the mountains doesn't come calling at $2.5M per.

No. It just means he hasn't gotten a worthwhile offer yet. None of the above matters a single bit.

You could literally plug in the name of almost any small college town here and likely be accurate.

Every coach's real school color is green.

Most towns are great to raise a family in when you are making 2.5 million a year.

All this talk about him being a family man and loving Boone is great. It's probably true.

One thing I was told that Fritz said off the record (and I paraphrase), "We did genuinely like the Statesboro community, but when you have family you have to take a 200% pay raise if it's offered to you. Caring about your family is more than just where you live and if you're happy with your job, it's about having the money to take care of them after you retire."

If Satt get's offered enough money, he's gone. Not because he's greedy, but because he's looking out for his family.

Exactly...I love lafayette and never want to leave but if I would get a job offer that could change my families life for generations forever, I'm outta here. That's looking out for your family.

I can tell the other SBC fans are very excited about the prospect of Satterfield leaving Appalachian. Cant same I blame them.

It's just funny, every G5 is the next school that's different and won't lose their coach to a big time school...we paid HUD just enough to get stuck with him. Even at 1.1 million, he is gone if that big train comes calling and He and Mrs. Hudspeth are both on record several times about how much they love lafayette. In coaching you are either getting fired or will be fired, you make your money while you can be star it can end quick. It's not like other careers.

Brad Stevens turned down the likes of Oregon and UCLA when Butler was still in the Horizon League. He, like Satterfield, was a native of the state where his team resides. His wife was from Zionsville, 10 miles north of the Butler campus. He didn't graduate from Butler (his degree is from Wabash College, 30 or 40 miles west of Indianapolis), but his ties to the school and city of Indianapolis are strong. He left a great job with Eli Lilly as a young man shortly after college to volunteer coach at Butler. Eventually, though, he left, too.

If App can get the kind of loyalty out of Stay that Butler and Boise State did, it is beyond lucky.

Only difference is that Brad Stevens proved he could compete for National Titles at Butler, and Petersen took Boise to a whole bunch of major bowl games.

Satterfield doesn't have those abilities at App. At some point, he's going to hit a celing, in which the Mountaineers can go no higher because of the way FBS Football works.

So what is that ceiling for App or any other Sunbelt team?
IMO, I think Boise's success is achievable for a few Sunbelt teams. No reason an undefeated Sunbelt team can't get a major bowl.

I don't think Sat leaves unless the right P5 program comes calling. If he improves on his success, it will happen. Will be sad to see him go.

I agree with this, Sat might not be looking for the first train out of town...bit every coach has trains he will get on.

On paper, there isn't a ceiling. But we don't live out our lives on paper. Eventually, you do good enough, long enough, and universities with more money come calling. It goes for us all the way to the AAC. For some the situation matters more, but eventually the situation gets overshadowed by the dollar bills. Any G5 AD should have an evolving short list updated and available at any time. The best case scenario is that his successors are able to pick up the ball and keep marching forward like Houston and Briles-Sumlin-Herman. Levine almost wrecked 10 years of work in his 3 seasons. And some teams fall right back into the hole with the next hire. It is just the way of life down here.

The Sunbelt only gets to a major bowl when the MAC/AAC/MWC can't put a team there. And unlike the AAC/MWC, you likely have to go undefeated to even be considered.
