He took Elon from the bottom of the SoCon to almost the top, but with Riddle graduating, looks like he didn't want to stick around for the rebuild.

Subject: Your knees

Watch out, because a Pete Lembo team will do everything they can to wreck your knees, hips, ankles, shoulders, wrists, etc.




Good riddance to this thug.

There are ACL's and MCL's rejoicing across the SoCon unless their new coach goes after knees also. :ohno:

Did he spend time in Denver before going to Elon?

He made great strides in the Elon program over the last few years, and we were able to make our first ever playoff appearance in '09. He took the Elon program from being a really bad team to being a playoff team in 3 years. I hope we can get another good coach.

He was the head coach at Lehigh before Elon.

I hope you do as well. It helps the conference overall when we have several competitive teams. Bobby Lamb maybe?

I guess they got Lembo so they could finally start beating FCS teams? :)

The reason I ask is that Denver has been notorious for cut blocking for something like 20 years.

you mean chop blocking? cut blocking is legal, chop blocking is not. Lembo's team does not cut or chop block but blatant attempts at injuring other players on other teams

GSUHooligan: Are you implying that Meyer can't win with any QB other than Tebow? He's ALREADY proven you false. He had a B(C)$ buster with the sucky Alex Smith at Utah. He was 8-3/9-3 in two years at Bowling Green, 10-2/12-0 at Utah, including Liberty and Fiesta Bowl wins, and was 13-1 THREE times at Florida, which includes two B(C)$ Championship Game wins, one of which featured Chris Leak at QB. Through all that time, Meyer NEVER had a losing season as a HC.

Clearly, Meyer is much more than a one-trick wonder.

There is some speculation that a replacement might be our DC/Assistant/LB Coach, Jay Bateman. He has previous coaching experience at Siena, and it would keep a lot of continuity, instead of bringing in a whole new staff and new system. Hopefully they get this sorted out soon.

No, I was implying that Meyer has man-boy crush on Tebow.

Oh, come on. You actually believe Meyer's a paederast?

Give me a break.

Tebow is pre-pubescent?

I have heard him called "Sweet Baby Jesus" before. There is room for confusion, I guess.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bateman take over. I've also heard something about Strollo possibly taking over. I'm just surprised that he hasn't been announced yet like most assumed he would. Maybe something's going on behind the scenes? Regardless, I'd like to see this finish up quickly as well. I think we have a good foundation in place for whoever takes over next, so I remain hopefully for the team next year.

I think this would be a good move. Good luck.

We have our first ridiculous, where did that come from coaching possibility. Heard a rumor that Chuck Amato initiated contact with Elon before these rumors about Lembo came out in case Pete left.

Good riddance to this thug.
I hope we can get another one just like him so we can draw out more wimpy players and crybaby SoCon fans.

I hope you can get another QB like your last one who had a dad that started fights in the stands. Your little wannabe program does nothing for the SoCon. Heck, you haven't won a game of value since your NAIA days.

I like the kind of QB that punts but only punts 1 yard punts when the game depends on it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy
