Appointed the 11th head coach in the history of the Penn State men's soccer program on May 24, 2010, Bob Warming made an immediate impact in his first three seasons in charge of the Nittany Lions, guiding the teams to the Big Ten tournament championship game in 2010 and 2011 while producing share of the Big Ten regular-season championship in 2012.
The 2011 campaign presented a major milestone for Warming as he became the 31st NCAA Division 1 men's soccer head coach to capture 400 career victories after the Nittany Lions downed Florida International, 1-0, in the team's fourth game of the season. Penn State struggled through the Big Ten regular season, but hit its stride in the conference tournament, earning the distinction of being the first No. 7 seed to reach the title game. Warming followed up with a historic 2012 season, earning Big Ten Coach of the Year honors while guiding the Nittany Lions to a share of the conference regular-season crown.
Warming's three-plus decades as a head coach have been signified by distinction, achievement, and success. The six-time finalist for national coach of the year and 2008 winner of the award, according to FieldTurf Tarkett, holds a lofty place in the NCAA record book, ranking sixth among active Division I head coaches and 15th in Division I history with 415 victories. Warming is also one of only two active coaches in Division I to take two different programs to the College Cup.
Warming, whose distinguished career spans 33 years, came to Happy Valley from Creighton University, where he took over a previously dormant program and developed it into a conference and regional power and national title contender.
Warming has also produced numerous professional prospects, as at least one of his players has been selected in every MLS draft or supplemental draft. He has seen a total of 27 of his players drafted since the league's inception in 1996. Most recently, Mark Fetrow was selected by the Vancouver Whitecaps with the No. 59 pick in the fourth round of the 2012 supplemental draft. In 2011, Corey Hertzog was selected by the New York Red Bulls with the No. 13 pick in the first round of the SuperDraft while Drew Cost was a supplemental draft choice of Real Salt Lake.
A 1975 graduate of Berea College (Ky.), Warming was a four-sport varsity letterwinner, starring on the golf, swimming, tennis, and soccer teams. As a starting goalkeeper, he posted a 28-2-2 record. Warming also holds a master's of science degree in sport administration from Eastern Kentucky University.
