After serving two seasons as an assistant coach in the Kean University women's soccer program, Brian Doherty took over the head coaching duties in 1999 and now enters his 14th season at the helm of the program with a 113-104-27 overall record.  Doherty, who already has the most women's soccer coaching wins at Kean, collected his 100th win during the 2010 season.

In his first season, Doherty led Kean to its first winning season in three years, and the Cougars have steadily developed into a solid team in the competitive New Jersey Athletic Conference.  During the past six seasons, Doherty has guided the Cougars to an NCAA Division III Tournament berth in 2006 and Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Tournament berths in 2004, 2005 and 2008.

The 2005 NJAC Coach of the Year, Doherty honed his coaching skills for six seasons as an assistant coach at Bayonne High School, where his teams won one state championship, five Hudson County championships and two league championships.

With more than 20 years of coaching experience at all levels, Doherty has also served as a head coach and evaluator for the Central New Jersey Area Olympic Development Program (ODP) and as an instructor at the prestigious Adidas Elite Training Academy that has tutored professional and semi-professional soccer players. He also had a coaching stint with Sky Blue on its run to the inaugural championship of the Women’s Professional Soccer league in 2009.

A United States Soccer Federation "A" licensed coach, Doherty has also earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Premier Coaching Diploma.

A 1993 graduate of Kean, Doherty earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in communications.
