Peter Lembo (born April 16, 1970) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the Assistant Head Football Coach and Special Teams Coordinator at University of Maryland, a position he assumed in December 2015. Prior to coming to Maryland, he was the head football coach at Lehigh University from 2001 to 2005, at Elon University from 2006 to 2010, and at Ball State University from 2011 to 2015. Lembo has enjoyed success in each of his stops as a head coach and has accumulated a 112–65 career record. His 79–36 record in ten seasons at the FCS level makes him one of the winningest coaches in the history of that classification.
Lembo attended Monsignor Farrell High School in Staten Island, where he was a starter on the varsity football squad. He graduated in 1988. He attended Georgetown University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration in 1992, and the University at Albany, SUNY, graduating with a Master of Arts in Public Administration in 1994. While at Georgetown, Lembo was a four-year starter at center and served as team captain of the Hoyas in 1991.
Lembo became one of the youngest head coaches in all of Division I when he was named head coach at Lehigh University in February 2001. The Mountain Hawks managed at least eight wins in each of his five seasons as head coach. Lembo is the winningest head coach in Lehigh school history with a .759 winning percentage. His conference record of 26–7 (.788) puts him third among all Patriot League coaches in terms of winning percentage. Lembo's teams won two Patriot League championships and made two appearances in the FCS playoffs.
In 2001, Lembo led Lehigh to an undefeated regular season and an upset win over Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. That season, Lehigh also won the prestigious Lambert Cup and was named the ECAC team of the year. In 2002, the Mountain Hawks upset the University of Buffalo, an FBS level team from the Mid-American Conference.
