CINCINNATI — On3 revealed its Big 12 football head coach rankings this week and Scott Satterfield is one spot from the bottom. UC's head coach checked in at No. 13 on the list.

West Virginia's Neal Brown was the lone coach behind Satterfield.

"Scott Satterfield was a successful head coach for six seasons at Appalachian State (three double-digit win years, three straight Sun Belt titles), but that track record of consistency did not follow him to Louisville," Jesse Simonton wrote. "For four seasons, Satterfield frustrated the Cardinals’ faithful, finishing no better than 8-5 (Year 1) with a pair of losing seasons sandwiched in the middle.

"Louisville went 7-5 under Satterfield last fall, and he parlayed the unexpected opening at Cincy for a fresh start by resetting his coaching clock where job security will no longer be an issue for several years. Now he’s tasked with transitioning the Bearcats, the recent kings of the G5, into the Big 12. Good luck."

Satterfield went a combined 25-24 at Louisville, prompting legitimate questions about how far he can take a Power Five program. He went 7-5 last season while facing a strength of schedule nearly twice as hard as any he's faced in his coaching.

Time will ultimately tell if this is the right gauge, as the Bearcats likely take some Big 12 lumps in Year 1.
