Boone, NC (Sports Network) - Interim football coach Scott Satterfield has been
named Jerry Moore's successor as Appalachian State's head coach.
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.
"It is with great pride that we announce that Coach Satterfield has agreed to
lead Appalachian State's football program into a new era," athletic director
Charlie Cobb said. "Scott has been successful in every role that he has filled
during his 15-year coaching career and obviously has great familiarity and
love for Appalachian State."
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.
