One concern I have about Narduzzi turning us down (and not for the asst. coaches crap, I can't believe that) is the fact that I assume at some point he probably asked his B1G AD and perhaps others in the conference for their insight on UConn potentially moving into a real conference in the near future...and I'm wondering if he didn't like what he heard (at least from the B1G end of things).

I could imagine he already looked into that before he interviewed with UConn. Something didn't click for him or he wanted to "win one" for the URI Rams over us.
 
I wasn't all that angry that Narduzzi passed. I am getting red-faced angry at reading the reactions of nitwits around the twitter sphere and message boards laughing at UCONN right now.

If it's not UCONN, it's crap. F everyone else.

UCONN has their guy. Here's what I know. http://goo.gl/5juvYG

UCONN: CoachingSearch.com has learned that UCONN has their guy. No announcement will come tonight, but it would be a surprise if it's not Ball State head coach Pete Lembo based on the people that I have spoken with this evening. A source informed me that Lembo flew from Mobile (bowl destination) back to Indianapolis tonight.

Joe D tonight seemed awfully certain the announcement is coming very soon.

If I were looking to leave my job I wouldn't be asking my boss what the market conditions were for their competitor. And on top of that I would have to take anything they say with a major grain of salt. Why would the Michigan State AD talk up Uconn? Why would I even care what the Michigan State AD had to think of Uconn? I think you may be over thinking this.

I understand they may have that type of relationship. And while he was looking, he may not have been looking to leave or a least he wasn't intent on leaving. His heart is where he is now and maybe some others did have influence. In that case he wasn't the right guy.
 
I'm considerably more calm now. Narduzzi was my first choice but Lembo was a close second. This would be a GREAT hire!

Feels like a consolation prize to me. We would have won a national championship with Narduzzi , been invited to the Big 10 and would have hosted large State affairs with many attractive women's had we hired the Duzzer.

Now we have to worry about the number of David Letterman references we'll hear like we did that last season at Memorial when our kicker ?Hickock missed the OT FG attempt and we lost to Letterman U. I'm deflated
 
.-.
Or maybe Lembo was first choice all along and the Duzzer is saving face with the earlier release. Perhaps Letterman will spearhead the expansion of the Rent ...
 
I'd be very happy with Lembo. Completely don't understand the people bashing him for not having won his conference or bowl games. All the guy has done in the past is turn around programs that were in the dumps and made them into winners. He has an established track record of doing this. Very well respected guy.
 
Wonder how it would have played out if Ohio State put up 40 points and Mack wasn't about to get knifed.

Oh well, looks like it's Lembo. I'm sure it's a good hire but doesn't have the jolt that Narduzzi would have. I wonder how many coaches were interviewed, and who they were. Will that come out or will it be hidden?

No so fast my friend...
 
Typically, you announce that you are withdrawing from a coaching search when you are being passed over.
 
Now there are tweets coming in on the Lembo thread saying he is not the new coach. Get ready for another long night, Boneyarders... :confused:
 
.-.
@coachingsearch: Im surprised. A source tells me the UCONN job is not going to Pete Lembo. Warde Manuel has something up his sleeve.
 
Deep within that track record of winning footgames must be some serious coaching skillz. If Lembo was one of WMs only 3 interviews then Lembo must be legit. No disappointment here.


Do the Lembo rock!

EDIT: lol...news changes quickly even as posts are getting written
