Louisville Coach Scott Satterfield: Coaches Can Worry About Families; Players Must Be ‘All-In’

Here’s your “WTF are you talking about” sports quote of the day, courtesy of Louisville football coach Scott Satterfield. Satterfield has the Cardinals at an abysmal 3-7. The second-year head coach has been an utter failure during his time at Louisville, and his team appears to be continuing to go downhill. Today, he made matters even worse when comparing players to coaches when it comes to dealing with family life.

“As players, it’s a little bit different than coaches,” Satterfield said via CBS Sports. “Sometimes we like to lump coaches in with players. As a player, you’re there for three to four years and then you’re done. As players, you don’t have a family. It’s just you. As coaches … and I’m just thinking in general terms here … coaches have wives and kids. As a job, are they going to be a job at 40 years? There are a lot of different things that are involved in coaching. With players, like I said, it’s three to four years, and they have to be all in.”

This has to be one of the most tone deaf things I’ve ever heard. Scott Satterfield is actually insinuating that coaches need to worry about their families more than their players do. I mean, how can a parent want to send their son to play for this guy after hearing that?

I think it is most definitely possible for a player to be ‘all-in’ on their team, while also being ‘all-in’ on their families. Satterfield is turning into a complete joke, on and off the field, and it could be time for Louisville to pull the plug.
