CINCINNATI — Scott Satterfield is leaving his head coach position at Louisville for the same job with Cincinnati. The reaction is pouring in surrounding the hiring.

Check out thoughts from athletic director John Cunningham and Satterfield, plus, outside reactions.

“I am honored to be the next head coach at the University of Cincinnati and am looking forward to building on the winning tradition this program has had over the last 20 years,” Satterfield said in a press release. “My family and I have admired this university and athletic department from afar for many years. I’m excited to take Cincinnati into the Big 12 this fall and ready to compete for championships.

Scott Satterfield is a good hire for Cincinnati. I have no idea if it will work out.

Scott Satterfield was firmly on the hot seat at Louisville and now gets a better job with the Bearcats. So-so in game coach, but he’s a great recruiter

Cincinnati AD John Cunningham to ESPN on hiring Scott Satterfield, w/P5 experience: "It’s obviously important. You want someone who has seen it at the highest level and been there at the trenches calling the game and the plays at the highest level. That’s really important."

And Louisville plays Cincinnati in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl in 12 days.

Which team will he be on the sideline for!?

I'll always remember Scott Satterfield as being a guy who never beat Kentucky. https://t.co/e4p0GPYpM0

For a second I thought the Cats hired Marcus Satterfield and I was ready for chaos in the streets based on my South Carolina mentions of him this season. But from what I’ve researched, Scott Satterfield is a dog. I like it https://t.co/nyOI0Gt50P

In the end, I think Satterfield actually didn't make it weird at all.

He didn't win enough to make anyone overly upset about this, and he left in a manner and for a program that will result in him being universally despised here.

In his final act, the man was a unifier.

A search that had gotten so quiet you just knew there would be a surprise: Scott Satterfield leaves Louisville for Cincinnati.
