He replaces Scott Satterfield, who in a stunning move, left to take the Cincinnati job on Monday. In four seasons as the head coach of the Cardinals, Satterfield went 25-24 with a 1-1 record in bowl games. Louisville, ironically, will face Cincinnati in the Fenway Bowl on Saturday,. Dec. 17 at 11:00 a.m. EST.
