CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Tim Murphy, The Thomas Stephenson Family Head Coach for Harvard Football, announced his retirement on Jan. 17, following 30 years at the helm of the program.

Murphy, who left the Crimson as the all-time winningest coach in Ivy League and school history, served as head coach for 37 seasons overall, with stops at Maine (two seasons) and Cincinnati (five seasons) before guiding Harvard to unprecedented success over 30 years.
 
A five-time finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award (top FCS coach) and eight-time New England Coach of the Year, Murphy coached 15 Associated Press All-Americans, 158 All-Ivy League First-Team selections, 11 Ivy Players of the Year, seven Ivy Rookies of the Year, and 17 Academic All-Americans, all while helping more than 30 Crimson sign NFL contracts.
 
Murphy finished his Harvard career with an overall record of 200-89 (.692), including a 141-65 (.684) mark against Ivy League competition and a 19-10 (.655) performance in The Game, the Crimson's annual rivalry tilt vs. Yale. He also helped Harvard win 10 Ivy League titles, a mark that is tied for the most by a coach in conference history. For his complete coaching career, Murphy posted an overall record of 224-132-1 (.629).
