AFCA Division I-AA Coach of the Year (1988) |
James "Jimmy" Satterfield (born October 11, 1939) is a former American football coach. He served as head football coach at Furman University from 1986 to 1993, where he compiled a record of 66–29–3. Satterfield was named the 1988 AFCA Coach of the Year after leading Furman to a 13–2 record while winning both the Southern Conference and NCAA Division I-AA National Championship. Satterfield was the second Furman football head coach to be the AFCA Division I-AA Coach of the Year; in 1985, three years earlier, Dick Sheridan won the award after leading the Paladins to a 12–2 record and a close two-point loss in the National Championship game.
Satterfield was the head football coach at Lexington High School in Lexington, South Carolina from 1996 to 2003.
