Most people go through some of the best assistants during this successful run. One name that is sometimes forgotten is Joe Lombardi. In my opinion, he was right there with Rice as the best they have had. We all know he left many years ago to take over at IUP. He has done a great job there and competes for championships every season.
I am not sure if he misses the spotlight at all, but it may be worth a shot to give him a call and see where he is at. Offer a two year, $700,000 guaranteed deal. Maybe he is content without all of the expectations and travel. I think that played a part in his original decision.
