Willie "Satellite" Totten (born July 4, 1962 in Leflore County, Mississippi) is the head coach of the Mississippi Valley State University Delta Devils football team, a job he has held since 2001. He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.
Totten is the current head college football coach for the Mississippi Valley State University Delta Devils located in Itta Bena, Mississippi. He has held that position since the 2002 season and is the 14th football coach at the school. His coaching record at Mississippi Valley State was 25 wins, 41 losses, and 0 ties. As of the conclusion of the 2007 season, this ranks him fourth at Mississippi Valley State in total wins and seventh at Mississippi Valley State in winning percentage (0.379).[1][2]
He is one of a few coaches ever to coach in a stadium named after themselves. His team plays in Rice-Totten Field, named for him and legendary NFL wide receiver Jerry Rice. Totten was Rice's quarterback at MVSU, and with Rice as his target, Totten set more than 50 Division I-AA passing records. His team scored a stunning 59 points a game, and in one year he threw for a record 58 touchdowns. Totten played professionally in the CFL with the British Columbia Lions (1986) and Toronto Argonauts (1987) before moving on to the NFL, as a "replacement player" for the Buffalo Bills during the 1987 season.
Totten is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity.
