Marcus Satterfield enters his third season as the offensive coordinator at Temple University.

In 2013, his first season, his troups amassed nearly 400 offensive yards per game - eclipsed only by the 1979 Owls team. As offensive coordinator and quarterback coach, Satterfield tutored true freshman P.J. Walker who threw for 2,084 yards and 20 touchdowns in just seven starts.

Before joining Temple, Satterfield spent the previous four seasons as offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.  He spent his first three years grooming one of the most talented quarterbacks UTC has ever seen into an NFL draft pick. Satterfield totally revamped Chattanooga's offense to focus on the next generation of Mocs.  In 2012, UTC switched to a spread system. The Mocs finished the season ranked fifth in the SoCon in scoring (25.5 ppg) and eighth in total offense (349.8 ypg). 

B.J. Coleman had an outstanding three-year career under Satterfield’s tutelage. He was eventually picked in the seventh round of the NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, graduating with a UTC record 52 touchdown passes.   

The 2010 season saw UTC rank #11 in the nation with 4,730 yards of total offense, the third highest mark in school history. Chattanooga also ranked in the top 20 in the FCS with 31.5 points per game, the second highest total in school history.  UTC ranked #8 in the nation in passing offense with 277 yards per game and was third in the FCS in third-down conversions at 48.7%.  Five offensive players were named to the All-SoCon team, while receiver Joel Bradford was pegged Third-Team All-American by the Associated Press.  

In 2009, Coleman and Blue Cooper made up one of the top pass-catch tandems in the country.  Cooper was #6 in the nation with 84 receptions and went on to sign a free-agent contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. 

Prior to coming to UTC, Satterfield was the offensive coordinator at UT-Martin for three seasons.  There he helped the Skyhawks win the 2006 Ohio Valley Conference championship and finish with the #1 ranked scoring offense in the OVC in 2008. He also led the 2007 squad to a #1 league ranking in total offense and points-per-game.

Satterfield worked at Richmond during the 2004 season. Satterfield left Richmond to coach the wide receivers at Western Carolina, alongside Matt Rhule, for two years before joining UT-Martin's staff. 

A Greenback, TN, native, Satterfield was a three-year letterman as a wide receiver and punter at East Tennessee State from 1995-98, earning his degree in history from ETSU in 1999. He also played point guard for Chattanooga State Community College during the 1994-95 season. 

Satterfield is married to the former Sarah Houser. The couple has a daughter, Harper (8).
