Post by: pmull on June 12, 2011, 05:21:12 PM Article from LA TV station.
Quote BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Joe Alleva announced Sunday that LSU opened its search back up for a new softball coach after Patrick Murphy reneged on his decision to coach the lady Tigers. "I am very disappointed in Patrick's decision after he had committed to be our head coach," said Alleva. "I am especially disappointed for the young women on our team to whom he gave every indication he was in this for the long haul." http://www.wafb.com/story/14890230/lsu-looking-for-new-softball-coach-as-murphy-changes-mind Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama?

Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on June 12, 2011, 05:41:29 PM That's a good lesson about not burning bridges when you change jobs.
I meant to say a teachable moment. I don't know what I was thinking. This is similiar to the end of the football season 6 months ago. CKS and CJM and other coaches were reported by the media to have taken positions at other schools, then CNS said that all of the stories could have been put to bed with one phone call to him. 8) Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama?

Welcome back CPM. http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1230732 Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: crimsonwine on June 12, 2011, 06:09:34 PM Breaking new ground for a**hole coaches in women's sports? :hand2:
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Marshal Dillon on June 12, 2011, 06:40:33 PM I think once he realized he was leaving a program that he had spent 13 years building, he decided it was too much to walk away from. Plus, all his friends and associates are in Tuscaloosa and he would be starting all over in Baton Rouge. Plus, he was probably downwind from a refinery. His wife and kids may have been unhappy, too. Billy Donovan did the same thing with Kentucky.

Plus it had to be hard leaving "his" program behind in Tuscaloosa. Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Reelvalue on June 12, 2011, 06:52:28 PM WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!... #+
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: bama87 on June 12, 2011, 06:58:23 PM He made a mistake in leaving. That said, he built this program and he was homesick. I think he realized this was a boo boo and he came home. RTR!

Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Jamos on June 12, 2011, 08:00:07 PM This is great news, no I can enjoy the Men's baseball tournament. Per CPM, he will be meeting with some of the University folks to discus the issues that he had, thank God that cooler heads prevailed. ROLL TIDE!! #+
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: SUPERCOACH on June 12, 2011, 08:06:00 PM I would hope that whatever those issues are we get them resolved.
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Jamos on June 12, 2011, 08:09:10 PM I'm wondering if Sara Patterson might have gotten involved in this because her daughter plays on the team.
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: SUPERCOACH on June 12, 2011, 08:09:51 PM That could be. Maybe all the details will come out next week.
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Terrie1959 on June 12, 2011, 08:15:03 PM I was on FB and someone posted "Welcome back Coach" I had to come here immediately to check it out! I KNEW the most up to date info would be here! You all ROCK!
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: McBaman on June 12, 2011, 09:21:40 PM Reminds me of Billy Donovan leaving UF and then coming back, although that involved a move to the NBA & not just another university job.
Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: pmull on June 13, 2011, 08:02:01 AM It reminds me of former Bama baseball coach Jim Wells resigning, talking to LSU about their opening and then asking to come back. He retired the next year.

Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: pmull on June 13, 2011, 03:06:34 PM Seems the pitching coach is parting ways. I think that is a good move. Bama87, I have not heard this. I am curious, where did you get your information? Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: bama87 on June 13, 2011, 03:31:26 PM Quote It feels great again. I remember four years ago pitching batting practice in the fall, and Ally was giving me the softballs and I'd pitch and she'd hand them to me. It was the freshmen, the current coming seniors. They all got it. They all understood. They all knew the team concept. I said, "Before this group leaves they're going to win the national championship." That kept going through my head the whole time, too. Because i want to be the one with them. I want to reap the rewards of 15 years. I kept thinking about them, the people we have coming, the people we have coming back. I just couldn't see anybody else doing it. I want to be their coach. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/06/patrick_murphy_qa_on_his_retur.html Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama?

Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: SUPERCOACH on June 13, 2011, 04:40:41 PM I just finished it and that really is a great article. Bama87, I hope you don't mind but I am going to insert a quote from the article into your link post and then put it on the front page so everybody who stops by will see it. That way you will get the credit for posting the link, as well as the +5 e-creds for making the home page.
Thanks. Title: Re: Murphy Back To Bama? Post by: Jamos on June 13, 2011, 06:01:05 PM I have more respect for him now than I had before, because he's more than just a coach, he's one heck of a good person. Roll Tide!!! #+
