Sean Devine Position: Tight Ends Alma Mater: Colby, '94

Sean Devine is in his fourth season as a member of Frank Spaziani's staff. He is in his first season at tight ends coach, having previously served as offensive line coach for three seasons (2009-11).

In 2010, Devine put together a strong unit led by All-ACC first-team performer Anthony Castonzo, who went on to be chosen in the first round (22nd pick overall) by the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL draft. Under Devine's guidance, the offensive line cleared the way for first team All-ACC running back Montel Harris as he rushed for 1,243 yards on 269 carries with an average of 4.6 yards a carry and eight touchdowns. Harris finished his junior season 126 yards away from breaking the all-time BC rushing record, as well as the active ACC rushing leader with 3,600 yards (the most ever recorded by a junior in the ACC). After Harris went down with an injury going into the last game of the season, Devine and his offensive line cleared the way for true freshman replacement Andre Williams, who had 42 carries for 185 yards and one touchdown against Syracuse.

In 2009, Devine coached one of the biggest offensive lines in the nation, anchored by center Matt Tennant, who was a Rimington Trophy finalist and All-ACC second-team selection. Offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo was an All-ACC first-team selection and an SI.com All-America honorable mention selection. The Eagle offensive line blocked for running back Montel Harris, who had the fourth-most carries in the country (308) and the 10th-most rushing yards (1,457). The line helped Harris record eight 100-yard games and ranked second in the ACC in sacks against, allowing only 19 in 13 games.

Despite being picked to finish last in the ACC's Atlantic Division in preseason media voting, the 2009 Eagles finished with an 8-5 record, came within one win of playing in a third consecutive ACC Championship Game, and played in a bowl game for a school-record 11th consecutive season.

Prior to coming to BC, Devine spent the previous 13 seasons at New Hampshire and was the offensive coordinator for the last two. In his first seven seasons with the Wildcats, he served as the coach of the defensive line. Before being promoted to offensive coordinator, Devine was the offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator for four seasons.

In his two seasons as offensive coordinator, he led one of the best offenses in the FCS. Last year, UNH ranked eighth nationally in scoring offense (35.62) and passing efficiency (154.81), 19th in total offense (404.23) and 25th in passing offense (243.23).

In Devine's first year as offensive coordinator, his unit averaged 35.8 points and 407.2 yards per contest and was one of the most productive in the nation. Devine mentored one of the top players in the history of FCS football in All-American and Walter Payton Award winning QB Ricky Santos.

In 2006, his offensive line gave up the fewest sacks of any in the Atlantic 10, while also driving the offense to an impressive average of 414 yards per game. In 2005, UNH's line paved the way to 493 yards per contest and 74 touchdowns, both top marks in the Atlantic 10 and second-best in FCS.

Devine also served as the recruiting coordinator for New Hampshire and was responsible for recruiting Northern New Hampshire, Western New York and Western Pennsylvania. Devine had been the defensive line coach at UNH for his first seven seasons.

Devine also coached the defensive line at Colby College from 1994-95. At Colby, he ran the scout team and assisted with strength training and the implementation of the strength program.

A 1994 graduate of Colby College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in physics, Devine was a four-year starter at outside linebacker. He was captain of the football team in 1993 and was named All-NESCAC and All-ECAC during his senior campaign.

Sean and his wife, Nicole, have a daughter, Amelie.
