Is Lembo related to Larry Lembo the old BB ref?

 

[Steve3596]

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).

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 would coach in the CCC South for $2 million a year for 3-4 years.

Right, because no school in the history of football ever got turned down by their first choice hire. Ever.

No, because not every offer that is rejected is made public.

I have heard from a well place source at UConn that Naruzzi preferred Planet Pizza to Pepe's or Sallie's. IMHO if he can't tell the difference in apizza, then I doubt he could deliver us to the promised land.

I hope Stanford scores a fycking hundred in the Rose

 

[UConn Insider]

Give me Diaco, Herman, or Lembo, I'll be fine. Nowhere to go but up in reality.

Hmmmm, you may be onto something Flux....

We've been narduzzied. . URI chump. Get Gruden on the line

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.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Diaco and Weist would be a good combo.

 

[Dooley]

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.

 

[Excalibur]

Diaco and Weist would be a good combo.

Please no to Diaco.

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.

Lol, you beat me to it tcf15!

 

[whaler11]

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

Don't let anyone tell you Lembo isn't a good hire

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.

 

[Dooley]

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

 

[Skiblets]

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 ...

 

[Waquoit]

Don't let anyone tell you Lembo isn't a good hire

Tell me why he is.

 

[CTMike]

I want them to convince me why he is. But if he's our guy I'll back him 100%.
