Satterfield replaces Bobby Petrino and Lorenzo Ward, who coached the 2018 season. Petrino was fired in November and Ward completed the season.

We reported on Saturday that Satterfield was the top target after Yahoo! Sports College Football reporter Pat Forde broke the news. That very day, he guided his former Mountaineers team to the first-ever Sun Belt Conference Championship with a 30-19 win over the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns.
