Scott Satterfield apologizes for South Carolina interview
There are essentially two rules for sitting head coaches in interviewing for other jobs, especially in regards to a job that would represent a lateral move. Tell your AD ahead of time If you violate Rule 1, make sure you get the job Scott Satterfield violated both of those rules in interviewing...

It would appear that Scott Satterfield is really feeling the heat from both the Louisville fanbase and the Louisville administration. For those who are unaware, Satterfield made public statements that he was not interested in the South Carolina job when it opened up.
He then had what he thought was an under-the-radar interview with South Carolina for their vacant head coaching job. He did not get it, and then the fact he had the interview was leaked.
The Louisville fanbase - already bruised from Bobby Petrino, are pissed as hell about Satterfield lying to them. In addition, it appeared that he did not let his athletic director know that he was going to interview for the job.
Satterfield has tried to public repair these burned bridges with public statements. The attached written/published apology is his latest attempt to do so.
I just do not understand why coaches do this. Why can't the idiots just come out and say whenever a job opens up - "I love good old 'State U' and what we are trying to accomplish. However I feel I owe it to myself and my family to at least listen to what 'Big Time University' has to say". I think the fans at his current school would accept that.
Instead, many of them act like 'A Thief in the Night' using private airplanes to meet with the representatives of the other school an undisclosed locations. It is really sad.
