SUU was in the midst of an 18-game losing streak when Ed Lamb took over. After taking a job on Kalani Sitake’s staff at BYU, Lamb leaves SUU at the top of the Big Sky Conference. He also changed the lives of his players.
“When he came in, it changed the toughness mentality in a lot of players,” Tagliaferri said. “I remember in his first meeting with us, he told us, ‘you guys don’t know how to win, so we’re going to learn how to win.’”
Mike Tagliaferri recalls a mental exercise Ed Lamb planned for his players in the spring prior to the 2011 football season.
