kickinit70, I'm sure the adults on the trip will enjoy Italy as well. Lundy has been at the College since 1987. As for Charleston men's soccer - since 2002 the Cougars are 95-59-10 so that's better than 60% in as you say a lot of parity with college soccer. I'd say the College is getting their $100,000 out of Lundy with all of the positive exposure and goodwill he demonstrates in the Lowcountry.

I'm not trying to diminish his career, or him, at all. But just stating the fact it might be time for a change. An older coach sometimes disconnects from the younger player, lacks motivation and doesn't have energy, priorities to work on his program. As a soccer fan, all I'm saying is it might be that time at CofC.

Yes, the adults will have fun. Yes, he has been there since 1987. And, yes, if the College only wants community exposure and world goodwill for 100K, then he is perfect. But, the answer you were looking for was one NCAA Tournament, no regular season titles and 4 of last 5 years CofC has not been more then 1 game over .500.

Actually Lundy's salary is $81,027.00 (Visit wwwthestate.com/statesalaries). Lacks motivation and doesn't have energy? You obviously have not watched him coach. Disconnected from the players? He coaches one way . . . his way. He does not allow much input from the players. He demands you do things the way he wants them done. Have you looked at his schedule? It is one of the toughest in the country. He looks to schedule the best NCAA D-I teams he can.

Between the tough spring schedule and the trip to Italy, it is to better prepare the team for the 2010 season. The trip to Italy allows the team to play more games, gain more experience for the younger players, and allow the team to gel. 2009 was disappointing for the Cougars. They were talented, but lost a lot of close games. Their goalkeeping was often by committee. They did not have a GK that stepped up and was consistent all season. They seemed solid almost everywhere else on the field. They felt they had the chance to win the SoCon. They finished a strong 2nd in the regular season to a surprising Wofford team (only SoCon team to beat the Terriers). The Cougars entered the SoCon tourney as the #2 seed, but were awful in the SoCon tourney against Elon.
