Sean Dawkins returned to Murray State in 2015 after spending one season at Chattanooga and is now in his sixth season as the running backs coach at Murray State. Prior to the 2016 season, head coach Mitch Stewart added Co-Run Game Coordinator to his title.
In his first season back in 2015, he helped coach junior Roman Clay to 984 yards and second team All-OVC honors.
In his final year at MSU, the 2013 season, the tandem of juniors Jaamal Berry and Duane Brady combined to rush for 1,264 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also catching 64 passes for 503 yards and a pair of scores. Berry led the group by averaging 7.1 yards per carry, while Brady averaged 5.0 yards per carry.
In 2011, Dawkins helped Mike Harris become just the 10th 1,000-yard rusher in school history when he rushed for 1,018 yards and 13 touchdowns. He recorded seven 100-yard rushing games, including a 206-yard performance against Eastern Kentucky. Harris ranks third all-time with 11 100-yard rushing games, and is tied with Derrick Cullors with three 200-yard rushing games.
Dawkins came to MSU after spending the 2009 season as the running backs coach at West Texas A&M.; He helped the Buffs to their fifth-straight winning season and guided running back Keithon Flemming to All-Lone Star Conference honors, despite missing the first six games of the season. Prior to his time at WTAMU, Dawkins spent one season at Huntingdon College. He tutored running back Jamal Gardner to a 1,000-yard rushing campaign.
Dawkins spent five years as a member of the Troy football team and helped the Trojans capture a pair of Sun Belt Conference championships.
He played his prep ball at Parkview High School, where he was a two-time all-state selection at running back and linebacker, as well as being named the 5A Defensive Player of the Year by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. He helped the Panthers to three-straight Georgia 5A state championships and finished his career as the all-time leading rusher in Georgia state championships. He finished his high school career with 3,238 yards and 43 touchdowns, to go along with 283 tackles and nine sacks.
Dawkins graduated from Troy in 2007 with a degree in social science.
