WASHINGTON, Pa. -- The Washington & Jefferson football program has announced the addition of a familiar face to its coaching staff.
Bob Jazwinski, a 2004 W&J graduate, returns as a full-time assistant football coach.
"Bob knows what it means to be a President", said head coach
Mike Sirianni. "He has a ton of experience and I'm excited to have him back as part of our football family. As a player, he was coached by Todd Young so that is an enormous plus."
Jazwinski spent the past 11 football seasons coaching at fellow NCAA Division III member Dickinson College. Jazwinski performed a wide variety of tasks during his time with the Red Devils.
He assisted with recruiting, coached on both sides of the ball, as he worked with both the offensive and defensive lines. He also coordinated the Special Teams units with the Red Devils. In addition to his football duties, Jazwinski served the Strength & Conditioning Coordinator for all varsity teams at Dickinson.
Coach Jazwinski has also had coaching stops at Division I Bryant University (Feb. 2011 through June 2011) and Division III Susquehanna University (July 2006 through May 2009).
Jazwinski received a bachelor of arts degree in Business Administration from W&J in 2004. During his playing career at W&J, Jazwinski earned First-team All-Presidents Athletic Conference honors, All-South Region and All-ECAC honors in 2002 and 2003. He was also named the W&J Offensive Lineman of the Year in 2002 and 2003, and selected to play in the Aztec Bowl.
In addition, he was honored as an SID All-American in 2003 and earned the W&J Walter C. Cooper Senior Athlete Award. He came to W&J after graduating from Plum High School in 2000.
"As a student-athlete, my experience at W&J changed my life. What I learned as an individual through hard work, sacrifice, and leadership inspired and launched me into a career of coaching," Jazwinski said. "I'm now excited to provide those experiences for current and future Presidents. Most importantly, I'm honored to carry on the coaching tradition of Todd Young, who had a huge influence on my life as a player and coach."
