Drew Pariano out as Northwestern wrestling coach

Drew Pariano has been relieved of his duties as Northwestern's head wrestling coach, an athletic department press release indicated Monday.

Assistant coach Matt Storniolo, who has been on Northwestern's staff for six seasons, will be the interim head coach for the 2015-16 season.

Pariano, a Northwestern alum who graduated in 2000, released a succession of tweets Monday night confirming he is no longer with his alma mater:

I have nothing but great things to say about Northwestern Univ. and I have a plethora of fond memories.We had an outstanding 10 year run

I am looking forward to beginning the next chapter of my coaching/administrative career.
