New Discussion on BSU Indoor Facility

Saw nothing really positive about prospects to build in that article.

I doubt Brady would have stayed. He had his eye on Michigan in my opinion and he needed more success than BSU to get there. He got a great opportunity at SDSU and that's all he needed.

Brady wanted more here. Any coach has to try. But, I think he needed another move to stay "hot" for better jobs. He was not going from here to big school without year after year of success. And I have always had the thought he knew we were facing a decline here. Not exactly that he baled out knowing we had to rebuild, but he was ready to take another good job. SD was that next step.

The battle for facilities has been won, salary problems will always be there as long as the arms race in college football budgets continue.

Lembo brought in a good staff and it worked well together. They were a good team and good at developing players. Looked really good compared to the way the previous staff was managed.

But they were also relatively low paid. As their success led to other opportunities and key members left, there was no way to replace the quality and the exceptional synergy at the same price. Paying Lembo well enough to keep him was a little bit of a hollow victory. He lost a lot he needed to succeed.

Neu at the top with a different personality and different approach is a way to create change, but the key may be whether and how fast the staff can work together in a rebuilding year.

Im not going to look it up but after his extension Im pretty sure the salary pool was in the top third of the MAC.. Still pennies compared to other conferences but Lembo and staff were paid pretty well by MAC standards
