Louisville football has added two more coaches to Scott Satterfield's staff, naming Dwayne Ledford its offensive coordinator and offensive line coach and Stu Holt its tight ends coach and special teams coordinator.

Satterfield lured Ledford from NC State, where he was the offensive line coach and run game coordinator for the past three seasons. The two worked together at Appalachian State for four years before that, when Ledford was the offensive line coach and co-offensive coordinator.

This will be Ledford's first solo offensive coordinator assignment.

Satterfield brought Holt with him from Appalachian State, as he did with defensive coordinator Bryan Brown and quarterbacks coach Frank Ponce. Holt has coached running backs and special teams at Appalachian State for the past four years.

His special teams background will be important, as Louisville didn't have a special teams-specific coach in 2017.

At NC State, Ledford became a successful offensive line coach, as his unit allowed just 39 sacks in three seasons. NC State gave up 39 sacks in 2015 alone, the year before Ledford arrived.

The Cardinals could use that help. They were last in the country in sack yards allowed in 2015 and 2016 and gave up 43 sacks this year, tied for 128th of 130 teams.

Ledford's move had been in the works for a while. Over the past week, Satterfield began telling his two offensive line recruits — Ty Murray from Carrollton, Georgia, and Zach Williamson from Huntington, West Virginia — that Ledford would be their new position coach.

“Adding a coach with the experience of Dwayne Ledford is a key addition to our offensive staff,” Satterfield said in a release. “Dwayne’s one of the top offensive line coaches in the nation and has produced some of the best offensive line in the country during his career. His units are technically sound and his players play with great passion. This is an excellent hire in the development of our program.”

Holt has coached running backs, tight ends, offensive tackles, defensive line and linebackers at various levels in his career. Before Appalachian State, he spent two seasons on Willie Taggart's staff at South Florida and also worked for Taggart at Western Kentucky. He was an assistant at Western Kentucky from 2004-09 and 2011-12.

“I’m excited that Stu will be joining our staff at Louisville,” Satterfield said in a release. “The success that Stu has had throughout his career leading the special teams units at Appalachian State and South Florida, in addition to his experience on the offensive side of the football, will serve us well as we build our program at Louisville."
