Jack Murphy was promoted on July, 2024 as the Santa Clara University assistant men's soccer coach and director of operations.
The promotion comes after serving the 2023 season as a graduate assistant with the program where he helped with video analysis and breaking down film from trainings and games.
Murphy played three seasons for the Broncos from 2020 – 22 after transferring from Fordham University. In 2021, he helped lead Santa Clara to an outright West Coast Conference championship and to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The San Jose, California native received his bachelor's degree in business management with a minor in entrepreneurship in 2022 before embarking on his coaching career.
Murphy's collegiate playing career encompassed a two year stint at Fordham where he appeared in 17 games and was named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll in 2018. He was also a two-time WCC All-Academic honoree during his time on the Mission Campus.
He tallied his first point as a Bronco against Dixie State during the 2021 championship season run, with the game-winning goal and an assist. And against San Francisco that season, he assisted in the game-winning goal by Oladayo Thomas.
The coaching bloodline runs in the family as Murphy's father, Gregg, is the current Santa Clara women's associate head coach.
