By Matt Bradshaw —

Vince Tyra may have lost first choice to replace Bobby Petrino, but the athletic director found success with a solid second option. Today, the University officially announced that Scott Satterfield will take over its football program next season as head coach.

Spotlight shined on Satterfield when popular candidate Jeff Brohm elected to stay at Purdue, a tough choice the Louisville native called “excruciating.” Six days out from Brohm’s decision and 23 days out from Petrino’s firing, Satterfield has agreed to become the 23rd coach in Cardinal football history.
