Frostburg State head football coach Tom Rogish announced Tuesday morning that he is retiring after guiding the program for the past six years.
The Bobcats slipped to 1-9 this past season and were 14-45 in Rogish's six seasons at the helm.
"I want to thank the university's administration, faculty and
staff members and the entire campus community at Frostburg State
University for all of its help and support throughout my six
years," said Rogish. "I also want to thank my current and former
players and the members of my coaching staff for their hard work
and dedication to the Bobcat football program. The entire athletic
department has been very supportive of the program and I have
really enjoyed my time as the head football coach."
Under Rogish's direction, FSU totaled 45 all-conference selections
and nearly 70 academic all-conference honorees between the ACFC and
Empire 8. In its first year in the Empire 8 in 2011, FSU finished
fifth in the standings and produced some of the offensive numbers
in the league.
With the announcement of his retirement, Rogish caps a career that
spanned 35 seasons as a collegiate coach. After starting his career
at Juniata College in 1977, Rogish has served on the coaching
staffs at Lehigh, Indiana (Pa.) and Shepherd before coming to
Frostburg in the spring of 2008. He helped lead his teams to 16
NCAA playoff appearances.
