Creighton Athletics Hall of Fame
Bob Warming
- Induction:
- 2011
Bob Warming came to Creighton in 1989 to resurrect a dormant men's soccer program, and in doing so, he created a national soccer power. In 14 seasons and two separate stints as the Bluejays head coach (1990-94, 2001-09), he captured 190 wins, seven Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championships, seven MVC Tournament titles, took the Bluejays to 11 NCAA Tournaments and the 2002 College Cup.
Warming, who ranks fourth among active NCAA Division I head coaches with 397 career victories in 33 years as a collegiate coach, arrived in Omaha in 1989 to restart the Bluejay soccer program, which had been discontinued following the 1985 season. He spent one year recruiting, and in 1990, the Bluejays won their first nine games, while establishing Creighton as a regional power. The Bluejays made their NCAA Tournament debut in 1992 and are now a fixture in the event, appearing in 18 of the last 19 NCAA postseasons. In 1993, the Jays spent a majority of the season ranked No. 1 in the nation, starting the season with 19 straight victories.
He was a six-time finalist for the NSCAA Division I National Coach of the Year while at Creighton, and FieldTurfTarkett honored him as the National Coach of the Year in 2008. A four-time Midwest Region Coach of the Year and three-time MVC Coach of the Year, he was tabbed the MVC All-Centennial Team Coach in celebration of the league's 100th anniversary in 2006. The all-time winningest soccer coach in school history with a 190-61-34 record, his teams were dominant at home, posting a record of 107-18-15 in games played at Tranquility Park and Morrison Stadium.
A 2009 Omaha Sports Hall of Fame Inductee, Warming not only inspired success on the pitch, but he was instrumental in raising funds for and designing Rev. Michael
G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium — the best on-campus collegiate soccer facility in the country. His leadership helped develop a program that has produced more than 40 professional soccer players since the early 1990s, as Creighton remains the only school in the nation to produce at least one selection in every Major League Soccer Draft held since the league's inception in 1996.
While in Nebraska, he served as chairman of the Nebraska and Western Iowa Boy Scouts of America, as honorary chairman of the Omaha Children's Crisis Center's annual fundraiser, and as a regular worker on Habitat for Humanity projects. In addition to his own service, his Bluejay teams annually ranked among the top in the athletic department in volunteered community service hours,
Warming and his wife, Cindy, now live in Central Pennsylvania. The couple has four children — Emily, Bess, Audrey, and Grant.
