SEAN MURPHY
Sean originally became involved in women’s football in the early 2000s after his mother, Ruth Murphy, founded the first women’s football team in Maine. That early connection sparked a lifelong passion for the game and led to more than a decade of active involvement. From the early 2000s through 2012, Sean served in a variety of roles, ranging from sideline staff to administrative leadership, helping to grow and support women’s football across the state.
After a 13-year hiatus from women’s football, Sean returned in 2025 to join the Maine Mayhem, bringing extensive experience in coaching, administration, and organizational leadership at the middle school and high school levels. His responsibilities extended well beyond on-field instruction; at the high school level, he oversaw player management, supported staff coordination, and contributed to overall program operations, building a strong foundation in leadership, evaluation, and long-term program development. During this time, Sean also completed his degree in Social Services with a minor in Psychology, further strengthening his ability to lead, mentor, and support athletes and staff both on and off the field.
As Director of Coaching Personnel, Sean plays a key role in supporting overall program operations, providing strategic oversight of coaching personnel while contributing to organizational structure, leadership, and football operations.
His extensive experience brings strong leadership and a focus on long-term organizational goals, making him instrumental to the continued growth and success of the Maine Mayhem.
