Scott Satterfield left Louisville for the Cincinnati job this week and ended up taking a few coaches with him. That’s not abnormal at all but the loss of Wesley McGriff and Lance Taylor have left the Louisville staff very thin.
Deion Branch will be the head coach for the game but he won’t be the only member of the support staff to step up for the players and the program. 11 quality control and graduate assistant staff members will be covering for position coaches or elevating their responsibilities for the bowl game.
These are the people who build scouting reports, cut up video, hold the bags for drills, set up cones for drills, get the rooms ready for meetings, and a lot more.
