Sources: Cincinnati tabs Scott Satterfield to replace Luke Fickell

Louisville coach Scott Satterfield has agreed to a six-year deal to become the next football coach at Cincinnati, sources confirmed to ESPN.

A formal announcement is expected later Monday.

The hire is a compelling one regionally, as the schools are nearly 100 miles apart and at various times have been conference rivals. The schools also will play each other in the Fenway Bowl on Dec. 17.

The hiring of Satterfield is a statement for Cincinnati as it enters the Big 12 next year. Satterfield takes over for Luke Fickell, the best coach in school history.
