Career

Tom Viggiano was named as the interim head coach for Kent State when John Wallin resigned in the summer of 1987.[2] After a poor showing Kent declined to remove his interim tag and began to search for a full-time replacement. While Viggiano was considered for the position it ultimately went to Bill Switaj.[3]
