Hirsch, who has been an assistant coach for the past two seasons, replaces Paul Reid, who accepted the head coaching position at Ohio Wesleyan University in late October.
Rob Hirsch"His knowledge, experience, and passion for the sport of wrestling are exceptional," said Doviak. "Rob has had tremendous success in building programs in Western New York and his local ties will enhance our ability to recruit top caliber student-athletes. He has served as our top assistant coach over the last two seasons and has helped with the development of our program. The relationships he has formed along with his leadership ability will provide our student-athletes with the guidance necessary to compete at a high level."
Hirsch has served as a wrestling coach since 2001. For over a decade, Hirsch was the varsity wrestling coach at Warsaw Central School where he managed the coaching staff, created practice plans, coordinated events, and coached athletes all levels from Modified to Varsity. He also served as an assistant football coach during his time there.
Hirsch has also spent time serving as the coach and the coordinator for NYS Women's Wrestling. In 2014, he was named the USA Wrestling Coach of the Year by Asics.
