Interested in learning how he shapes the roster He sounds like a guy that knows how to do it Lembo needs to bring in someone who can recruit as well as Mo could.

DaBulls99 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Lance never had heralded recruiting classes. But he developed them like crazy and recruited to his system. That’s all I ask for. MAC level guys aren’t watched super closely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the UB alums must be watching a different UB Bulls football team than what I watched. Maurice Linquist the talent level went way down from what Lance Leipold was bringing in. Some of these Maurice Linquist recruits were scary bad talent wise that had no speed to separate to get open offensively. We had to be one of the slowest and physically weakest football teams in the MAC. Our offensive line sucked. Certainly not gamers look what Lance Leipold was bringing in we had two good QB not just one and an offensive line that was physical that could pound the rock. Maurice Linquist was a fraud who talked a good game but his recruits were terrible in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls!

ubbulls98 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 So, Lembo was coach of Lehigh when they beat us back in 2002. I like the hire.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo wasn't just in over his head, he was at the bottom of pool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigo230 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Alnutt takes criticism which he should. But he’s not a complete idiot. That product Mo put on the field last season had to embarrass the heck out of the AD. Those last 4 games on the ESPN networks were low FCS quality football at best. maybe even worse. I think this is a good choice to get the program in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice Linquist will never be a winning head coach he doesn’t have it. He got three years here and I think realistically he knew deep down being a head coach isn’t his calling. The Buffalo big city pressure got to him and he got scared and ran away to a slow pace area in Alabama before he was fired from Buffalo. Regardless of what coaches say they read social media and he knew Buffalo fans wanted him gone. Throw out what is acceptable at the 11 other MAC schools Buffalo is unique you need to make a good first impression right away and you need to win games in my opinion. UB Horns Up! Go Bulls!

UB92 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 While I am interested in whatever coach speak Lembo spews at the presser this afternoon, overall it is a pretty uninspired hire. But UB’s leadership and commitment from the very top on through the AD have been uninspiring these least several years, so this shouldn’t be a surprise. I would expect middle of the pack, at best, for the next few years. At least it seems we will have good special teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubbyHubby Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think this will prove to be a good hire. I've seen posts from people that know a lot more about football than most everyone on this board, that are very positive about the hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a lot of support from people that you would think would know about these things. I'm not sure what would have been an "inspiring hire" based upon our conference and financial abilities, but the more I read about this guy and his path and success, the more I think he can get us in the right direction. He is heralded as not just a good coach, but a good human, which goes a long way and usually resonates with players. We will see how it plays out, but this is our coach and until he proves otherwise, I am behind him and his vision for our future. I'm looking forward to the Press Conference, but don't expect to hear much that is earthshattering. He meets with the team at 1pm and that will be more important in my opinion.🤘🤘 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFH47 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 it's been reported that UB gave him a 5 year contract. Let’s hope th AD did the right hire for such a long term contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is pretty standard. It is hard to go into a recruits home and not have the contract guarantee that you will be there the whole time they are. As for the hire, I don't need coach speak today, Mo did enough of that to get me through the next 5 years. I just want a football guy, who doesn't care about the distractions. I will be interested to see what kind of staff he builds around him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuchMany Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Based on Lenzi's article, Mo is even more of a self-absorbed, striver, charlatan than I ever could have imagined before. Day 4 of waiting for that statement he promised, his thesaurus must be getting one hell of a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has skulked down to Alabama, so I don't need anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll have to add "liar" to the list eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
