Can't believe he'd say something like that to Locante...oh wait...I definitely can
Pat Murphy built the Notre Dame program from scratch and dominated at ASU. He has over 1,000 wins and ASU had more players drafted during his tenure than any other program.
Look, these are the perfect circumstances to bring Coach Delmonico back. When he came here in 1990, Tennessee was coming off of its worst record in the history of the program with no talent. By his 3rd year, he won the east then the conference then Omaha. It is my understanding from a reliable source that Coach D met with Hamilton in December and made amends and they are planning a meeting soon. :salute:
Pat Murphy isn't getting hired anywhere until the NCAA ruling comes down. The allegations against him are pretty serious, but there are also allegations that the charges against him are some sort of vendetta against him by the ASU Athletics Director. Either way, despite his record, he's going to have a great deal of trouble finding employment until that is resolved.
How about this . . . Fire Raliegh when he loses the series and maybe gets swept at Ole Miss and when he gets swept at home by Florida. Name Delmonico interim coach - with no promises, since he is here in Knoxville and is available. Any objections?

Why dont you show a modicum of respect. This man has raised three fine sons and committed a good deal of his life to UT. He is the winningest coach in UT history and he one day, maybe not today or next week or next year but when this program again becomes irrelevant in this conference and we dont enjoy hosting another regional and obviously wont go back to Omaha, you and many others are going to realize just how good we had it. He should be rehired. Go to Home and realize how wrong you are.
Pat was a scapegoat for the ASU Athletic Office.
The stuff he was doing goes on at almost every program in America.

That very well may be, but the NCAA is now penalizing schools that hire coaches with ongoing NCAA problems for transgressions at other schools, so any school interested in Murphy has to be SURE that he's going to be cleared by the infractions committee.
I'm certainly not saying Murphy would be a bad choice, but he's not getting a big time job until the NCAA cloud is off him.
