He began his storied coaching career as an assistant coach in 1987, then enjoyed an eight-year span of incredible success as the program's head coach from 1992-99. He was part of seven NCAA Tournament teams and four ECAC Tournaments at PSU, earning induction into the Plymouth State Athletic Hall of Fame in 2019. Over his eight years as head coach, Griffin led the Panthers to a 92-45-9 mark, including a 41-8-1 record in the Little East Conference. PSU topped the LEC standings in five of his eight years as head coach with three undefeated league seasons, going 6-0-0 in 1993 and 7-0-0 in 1997 and 1998. His teams made three NCAA Tournament appearances (1995, 97, 98), three ECAC Tournament appearances (1993, 94, 99) and competed in the first-ever Little East Conference Championship Tournament in his final season in 1999, advancing to the title match. Griffin mentored five National Soccer Coaches Association of America (now United Soccer Coaches) All-Americans, 18 NSCAA All-Region selections, five LEC Player of the Year winners and five LEC Rookie of the Year recipients. Under his guidance a total of 45 Panthers garnered All-LEC honors, while he was LEC Coach of the Year four times (1993, 1995, 1997, 1998). The 1998 campaign was one of the most impressive seasons in program history. Griffin's Panthers posted 11 shutouts during an unbeaten regular season (16-0-2), just the second in the then 42-year history of the program, which resulted in the team earning the No. 3 national ranking. Plymouth State hosted that year’s NCAA Division III Championship New England Regional, which saw the Panthers post a 1-0 victory over Amherst before being edged by Williams in the regional final, 3-2. PSU concluded the year with a 17-1-2 overall record, matching the program-record for wins in a season. At the conclusion of the season, Griffin was named NSCAA New England Region Coach of the Year. Griffin’s success has continued at Hobart College, where he's posted a 263-148-63 record in 25 seasons. His teams have made nine NCAA Tournament appearances and captured five Liberty League tournament titles (2009, 2017, 2019, 2023 and 2025). Griffin and his assistants have been named the Liberty League Coaching Staff of the Year five times (2003, 2006, 2017, 2023 and 2025) and earned the United Soccer Coaches Region III Coaching Staff of the Year Award in 2025. Griffin was named the NSCAA Northeast Region Coach of the Year in 2008. Griffin has mentored 122 All-Liberty League selections, including four Player of the Year honorees and four Rookie of the Year recipients. In total, Griffin has compiled a career record of 355-193-72 (.631) in 33 years as a head coach. He has mentored 67 United Soccer Coaches All-Region recipients and 166 all-conference selections. During his four years as a student-athlete, Griffin helped the Panthers to a 52-14-16 record (.732) with three NCAA Tournament appearances. He was a member of perhaps the best Plymouth State team ever – the 1983 team that was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2000. After dropping the first game of the season the team ran off a 20-game unbeaten streak, which included winning the New England Regional and national quarterfinal games. PSU was nipped in the national semifinals by North Carolina-Greensboro, 1-0, on a game decided by penalty kicks. Three years later the Panthers were again New England Regional champions before losing in the national quarterfinal.
