For my graduation, I’m here. “Larry Gallo, my baseball coach at Notre Dame, just resigned,” Murphy remarked. “The previous year, I had just asked Larry Gallo if I might work there as a graduate assistant. It was unsuccessful. “So after he went, I immediately phoned Notre Dame and contacted Gene Corrigan, who I obtained the number from somewhere back then. They move me about. Jeanne Neely was the name of the woman who answered the phone. “Jeanne, I need to speak with Gene Corrigan,” I said. I go by Pat Murphy. I’ll be Notre Dame’s next baseball coach.
