Appalachian State University has a new head football coach—at least through Dec. 15.
Athletics Director Doug Gillin has named Mark Ivey interim head football coach, effective immediately, pending approval by the school’s Board of Trustees, which is considered only a formality. Gillin met with the school’s football players at 3:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon to inform them of Ivey’s appointment.
Ivey replaces Scott Satterfield on the interim basis. Satterfield was named head coach at the University of Louisville Tuesday afternoon. Satterfield met with the Appalachian State team Tuesday morning before traveling to Louisville, Kentucky to be announced as the Cardinals new coach at a press conference.
