Does it irritate app fans that Drink used what Satterfield built to land an SEC job? That’s probably just my bias against Drinkowitz. For some reason I do not like him but always liked Satterfield.

It bothers me a little that Drink used everything that Satt built up for six years as a head coach to land a higher paying job after one year as head coach. I don't fault Drinkwitz for leaving for that kind of money*. I mean, I'm self aware enough to know an SEC school with a 70,000 seat stadium is a good career move. It just confuses me how the market vauled Drinkwitz over Satterfield; Drinkwitz makes more than Satt.

*I do, however, fault him for comments like, "This is not a stepping stone job," and, "I coached in the Sun Belt, brother," in answering a question about playing in front of near-empty stadiums.

It remains to be seen which one will do better at the P5 level, and which one should have gotten more money. I wish both of them success, but I believe in Satt more. He proved more over a longer period of time with his own built-up roster and in one year turned a two-win Louisville team with a toxic locker room/culture into an right-wing team with a sense of brotherhood. I couldn't be more proud of Appalachian's "native son."

That’s pretty much my thoughts. Don’t blame Drink for jumping at the opportunity but like you I value Satterfield more. I guess it has to do with timing as to how he landed a higher paying job.

I just never could stand Drink and he never said or did anything that offended me. I know my opinion is immature but It irritates me that he is making more than Satterfield.
