Item Description

Coach Tim Murphy Signed Football.

It's back -- one of our most popular items has returned!

By any measure, Tim Murphy has led Harvard's storied football program to its most prosperous era since the early 20th century. He looks to continue that trend in 2023, as he enters his 30th season as the Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football.

One of the game’s finest teachers and motivators over the last quarter-century, Murphy is the all-time winningest coach in Ivy League football history and his Harvard teams have captured nine Ivy League championships (1997, 2001, ’04, ’07, ’08, ’11, ‘13, ‘14, ‘15).

Murphy is the first Harvard coach since the Ivy League was formed in 1956 to lead the Crimson to three unbeaten, untied seasons in his tenure (2001, ‘04, ‘14). Having previously coached five seasons at Cincinnati and two at Maine, Murphy owns career records of 224-132-1 overall, 192-87 with the Crimson and 19-9 in The Game, the annual rivalry tilt between Harvard and Yale.

Harvard has been one of the leading programs in the nation since Murphy came to Cambridge prior to the 1994 season. Here are some of the major highlights:
