The rest of the country has taken notice, as Lembo was named to Athlon Sports' Top 15 "Coaches on the Rise" list.

According to Athlon Magazine, "The seven losses suffered by Ball State in 2014 were the most in Lembo’s coaching tenure, but the New York native is still one of the top coaches in the Group of 5 ranks. Lembo is 30-20 in four years with the Cardinals, including a 10-3 mark in 2013. Ball State also has two bowl appearances under Lembo. Prior to coming to Muncie, Lembo went 35-22 at Elon and 44-14 at Lehigh, with three combined FCS playoff appearances among the two programs."

Lembo has led the Cardinals to two bowl appearances in four seasons. The team finished 10-3 in 2013-14.

He also has four wins against teams from automatic qualifying leagues.

Lembo will lead Ball State in its season opener on Sept. 3 against Virginia Military Institute at 7 p.m. at Scheumann Stadium.
