Prior to being appointed at Manhattan, Rohrssen served as an assistant coach at St. Francis College (his alma mater), the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), and the University of Pittsburgh. He was later promoted to associate head coach at Pittsburgh. He is well known for his ability as a recruiter (particularly in New York City) and was directly responsible for opening the pipeline from New York City to Pittsburgh. He did so by signing NYC natives like Levance Fields and Carl Krauser.
Rohrssen has also worked as an actor, with minor roles in several films, including Glengarry Glen Ross (1992). His most recent part was that of a referee in Uncle Drew (2018).[6]
