The University of Louisville Athletic Association Board of Directors has scheduled a meeting Tuesday, presumably to approve the hiring of the Cardinals new head football coaching, the school announced Monday afternoon.

According to the press release, The ULAA Finance and Budget Committee will meet at 4 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, followed by the Personnel Committee at 4:10 p.m. and the Board of Directors at 4:20 p.m.

The meeting will take place at Cardinal Stadium, and will include participation via video teleconference.

That meeting will be followed by a 'special announcement' at a scheduled press conference starting at 4:30 in the Brown & Williamson Club, UofL football SID Rocco Gasparro said in a separate press release.

Appalachian State coach Scott Satterfield emerged as the frontrunner to become Louisville's new football coach after Purdue's Jeff Brohm declined an offer for position from Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra. Tyra interviewed Satterfield Sunday in North Carolina.

If Satterfield is hired, he would replace Bobby Petrino, who was fired last month with two games remaining on the schedule. Satterfield led Appalachian State to a third straight Sun Belt title Saturday with a win over Louisiana. Satterfield has a 3-0 bowl record as head coach.

The Cardinals finished the 2018 season with a 2-10 record, the schools worst since 1997.
