Scott Satterfield has finalized his coaching staff after hiring Notre Dame's running back coach Lance Taylor to be Louisville's offensive coordinator.

"When looking for an offensive coach, I wanted an outstanding teacher and communicator, and Lance brings that to our staff," Satterfield said. "Lance possesses all the qualities I look for when hiring an offensive coordinator. His experience and knowledge allows me to oversee all aspects of our program and brings a wealth of ideas to our offensive staff. He will be a perfect fit with what we are trying to do offensively and I'm just excited we were able to hire a coach with this kind of pedigree and respect."

Taylor has spent time in the NFL, coaching wide receivers with the Carolina Panthers, and also had a stop at Stanford where he coached Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love.

This caps off a successful hiring spree for Scott Satterfield where he added a pair of Power Five assistant coaches, and brought back Louisville legend Deion Branch in an off-field capacity.

A Notre Dame source told CardinalSports.com the following:

“Really good hire. Very bright. Has coached WRs and RBs. Star pupil is Christian McCaffrey from his Stanford days. Kyren Williams under Lance has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Very good recruiter, strong evaluation skills. RBs under him are very good in blitz pickup, very good receivers.”
