William "Budget" Seaman (c. 1875 – April 18, 1910) was an American football and baseball player and coach.
For three seasons, Seaman coached for his alma mater, Washington & Jefferson. His next team, Western Reserve, earned two titles in the Ohio Athletic Conference during his four-year tenure.[3]
As a baseball manager of the Washington Senators in the Pennsylvania–Ohio–Maryland League for its only two seasons, he posted records of 57–44 in 1906—enough for league runner-up—and 45–75 in 1907.[4]
Seaman was to remain the Western Reserve football coach for the 1910 season. However, he caught pneumonia in April 1910 and died in his hometown of Washington, Pennsylvania.[5]
