Twitter Reacts to Pete Lembo's resignation

So we were met with the news Tuesday afternoon that Pete Lembo is leaving Ball State to take a job with the Maryland Terrapins. This caught a lot of people by surprise, and there were obviously some mixed reactions. The consensus seems to be that Lembo didn't address the team or recruits and pretty much everyone was caught off guard.

Some folks were sad to see him go, some quite happy, while most were pretty much shocked.

Here are just a few of the reactions from the twitterverse.

If you're wondering what he'll make as an assistant at Maryland, Pete Lembo was making $514k at Ball State. So, he won't be cheap.

Pete Lembo leaving the Ball State job to be an assistant at Maryland just reinforces my opinion that Muncie is a terrible, terrible place.

Lembo's last two years as BSU coach... not good. Lembo's overall career at BSU... not bad. Great guy, but I think it was time.

Ball State is without a coach and IU is playing their bowl. Safe to say today is not the best in BSU history.

@MamaBearWiggins that is absolutely shameful. Players always deserve the heads up before anyone else. Anyone.

This whole Lembo thing shows that timing is absolutely everything. From head coach ACC interviews a couple years back to a coordinator. Wow

Since 2013, four Group of 5 head coaches have resigned to become assistants: Pete Lembo, Dan Enos, Garrick McGee, DeWayne Walker.

Pete Lembo is a GREAT coach. Huge pickup for MD. Recent offensive hires are almost as strong as the defensive hires made. & that says a lot!

People forget that this a business don't take it personal...
