Bob Warming Takes Over the Men’s Soccer Team

There weren’t a lot of obvious replacements for Barry Gorman, the longtime Nittany Lion soccer coach who resigned in April. Not that there weren’t plenty of great candidates, of course; there just weren’t many who could match Gorman’s experience—he spent 22 years on the Penn State sideline—and success at the collegiate level.
On paper, though, the Nittany Lions appear to have found their man.
Bob Warming, a college head coach for 32 years, most notably with a very successful Creighton University program, has been named the 11th head coach in Penn State soccer history. Warming won 73 percent of his games at Creighton, a tenure that included 11 NCAA tournament berths and seven Missouri Valley Conference titles in 14 seasons. His 383 career victories rank sixth among active Division I coaches and 15th all-time. As of Sunday night, he was telling Omaha media that rumors of his depending departure for Happy Valley were just that; now that the truth is out, he’ll be tasked with preparing a brand new team for a season that starts in a little more than three months.
