Wesley Satterfield is in his second season with the Southeastern Louisiana football program as an assistant coach working with the Lions’ quarterbacks.
In his first season with the Lions, Satterfield was part of a staff that helped the Lions repeat as Southland Conference champions. Satterfield coached 2014 Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year Bryan Bennett. Bennett, a first team All-Southland and All-Louisiana selection, threw for 2,357 yards and 18 touchdowns, while rushing for 669 yards and 15 touchdowns under Satterfield’s tutelage.
Satterfield, a Hartville, Tenn. native, spent the previous two seasons at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga, where he was the running backs coach in 2013. In 2012, he oversaw the tight ends and guided sophomore Faysal Shafaat to an All-American campaign. Tied for the team high with five touchdowns, Shafaat was a second team All-Southern Conference and third team All-American selection under Satterfield’s tutelage.
Satterfield’s previous coaching stops included stints as a graduate assistant at Ohio State and North Carolina. At UNC, he worked with the quarterbacks and receivers.
As a player, he was a four-year starter at quarterback, kicker and punter for Sewanee: The University of the South, where he earned his degree in American history. As a junior, he was named SCAC Offensive Player of the Year and set a conference single-season record for quarterbacks with 11 rushing touchdowns.
As a coach, Satterfield is continuing the family business. Both his father and grandfather served as head coach at Trousdale County High School, where Satterfield was an all-state quarterback and kicker.
