The Bulldogs already have one of the better programs in the Northern Buckeye Conference.
Simon replaced Kevin Mitchell, who isn't returning after four seasons. Rossford was 10-4 in the NBC in each of the last two seasons.
"We're not reinventing the wheel because the girls have had success here," said Simon, who has coached at Springfield the last 10 seasons.
Simon was Springfield's junior varsity coach the last four seasons. He also was the varsity assistant coach and the freshmen coach.
"Kevin did a nice job," Simon said. "This is a great situation and I just want to add what Kevin did. We have a lot of talent back."
Rossford is 27-19 overall the last two seasons, tying for second place in the NBC last season and finishing second the previous season.
