Former Rutgers assistant coach Damian Wroblewski joined Maryland’s coaching staff

Former Rutgers offensive line coach Damian Wroblewski is now part of Maryland’s staff.

On Monday, former Rutgers football assistant coach Damian Wroblewski officially joined the Maryland coaching staff. Wroblewski joins the Terrapins’ staff with 25 years of college football coaching experience.

The veteran coach will serve as Maryland’s assistant offensive line coach after five seasons as an offensive line coach at James Madison. He had previously spent time on the Rutgers staff under head coach Kyle Flood.

Before joining James Madison, Wroblewski’s coaching career includes stops at Elon (2014-18), Rutgers (2012-13), Delaware (2007-2011), Stony Brook (2006), Hofstra (2004-05), Penn (2002-03) and Bryant (1999-02).

While with the Scarlet Knights, Wroblewski served as the offensive line coach for two seasons. In 2012, Rutgers allowed just eight sacks all year, ranking eighth in the FBS.

 

Under Flood, Rutgers claimed a share of the Big East Conference championship and earned a trip to the Russell Sports Bowl in 2012. The following year, the Scarlet Knights reached the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in Wroblewski’s last season with the program.

Antwan Lowery was a First Team All-Big East honoree and Kaleb Johnson earned a Second Team spot in 2012. Wroblewski coached Betim Bujari to a Second Team All-AAC honoree at the center position the following season.

Wroblewski spent two years at Rutgers as their offensive line coach from 2012-13. He is joining Maryland to serve in the same role.

After his time at Rutgers, Wroblewski went to Elon and then joined James Madison in 2019, where he was their offensive line coach and associate head coach.

With the departure of Curt Cignetti to take over Indiana, it was Wroblewski who served as the interim head coach for the Armed Services Bowl. Air Force won the bowl game, 31-21

Pete Thamel broke the news of Wroblewski joining Maryland this weekend:

 

Wroblewski did not follow Cignetti to Indiana. He decided to retain the current offensive line coach there, Bob Bostad.

There is a Rutgers connection with Bostad. It was Bostad who was the offensive line coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when Greg Schiano was the NFL team’s head coach.

Schiano just completed his fourth season back with Rutgers, leading the Scarlet Knights to a 7-6 record and a win in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.
