Dan Hayes from the NC Times is reporting via Twitter that the Padres have brought on former ASU head coach, Pat Murphy as a Special Assistant.
Things I know about Pat Murphy:
- He once told an ASU player's mother that her son was a poster child for birth control.
- He coached Craig Counsell at Notre Dame, which may or may not account for Counsell's nervous fidgeting.
- His work at ASU was impeccable all the way up until that whole business with the A.D. and some potentially shady business deals.
Brooks played for Murphy out at ASU and I've become a rooter of the team because of that. Everyone I've ever spoke to about Murphy has always said that he gets things done, but he's mean like a badger covered in something sticky.

hay....
at least if we signed him he couldn’t kick our butts anymore.
Torrealba that is...
darn that reply button.
Yep, he's a mean cuss from what I've heard
And maybe working outside of the realm of NCAA restrictions will be good for him, but I still have my reservations.

How many special assistants do we have now?

Every team needs 49 or they are just going through the motions...
This means we are shaking off the shackles of a “competitive team” and raising our heads proudly as “winners”.
And if we have so many, can they really be considered special?
Shouldn’t they just be “assistants”?

I knew Pat Murphy was mean
but I had no idea he was in a sorority at the University of Wisconsin.
