Following his ETSU career, Satterfield was hired as an assistant by former Mocs coach Donnie Kirkpatrick and spent three seasons with the Mocs. At the time, he wanted a spot on Phillip Fulmer's staff at Tennessee, and eventually he got it, going to Knoxville as a graduate assistant in 2002.

Magic.... You need to stop being such a bitter Jerk. Did you ever see Marcus Play? Basketball or Football? I doubt it, If you had you would realize how insane your stupid little comments are. I would have taken him over 99% of Tennessee's receivers last year. You Magic are Moronic and uninformed
