Dennis Creehan (born August 16, 1949) is an American gridiron football coach. He was most recently the athletic director at Alderson Broaddus University from 2011 to 2019.[1]
Creehan served as the head football coach at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania (1979–1984), San Francisco State University (1990), the University of South Dakota (1992–1996), West Virginia Wesleyan College (2009–2010), and Alderson Broaddus (2012–2016). He is the only coach to have ever earned Coach of the Year awards in four conferences.[2] He was a coach in The Spring League in 2017 and 2018.[3] In October 2018, he was announced as the linebackers coach for the Salt Lake Stallions of the Alliance of American Football.[4] Creehan took a leave of absence from Alderson Broaddus to accommodate the coaching position; the university named Carrie Bodkins his permanent replacement in May 2019.[5]
