Not to mention he was one of the nicest men you could ever run into. People that criticize him are probably miserable. The kind of people you can not make happy regardless of what you try to do. If you cured cancer they would complain that it took you too long.... Murphy worked really hard and was treasure to high school football in this state. I wish him a happy retirement. 

he ripped off thousands of tennessee families for decades. you'd be in a pretty good mood too

Murphy is working on a different sort of book now...while he is "retiring" from doing his annual assessment of HS football teams in order to spend more time with family, he is also compiling stories from various coaches and others associated with HS football into book form. Hopefully it will be out soon!

im sure it will be $75, with autograph of course

Things that can all be true at once.

1. Someone is a nice person.

2. Someone has a passion for something.

3. I can still not like what that someone does.

good point

Imma gonna miss Murphy.  I'm already going thru withdrawal symptoms with no new book.  

D Stew would be a great sports writer to put together something similar for the masses.

stewart is 1000x better and more talented than fair.

Funny story about the Guru.... Tailgating, 2006, Mt Pleasant High School, playing Columbia Academy last regular season game of the year and one of the Mt Pleasant fans calls into the Murphy Fair show. Youngtiger is his nick name on here and asks "What are the chances of Marco Dailey winning Mr Football?" Murphy replies with was something like "Who is Marco Daily never heard of him?"

To answer the Guru of High School football, he won Mr Football that year and again in 2007. 2006 he finished with over 2800 yards rushing at 42 touchdowns. You would think the "Guru" would know about him the last week of the regular season

perfect example. fair knew very little, only took scripted discussions live, and every questions asked of him was a softball statement that answered itself. why tennesseans worship him is beyond me.

I follow him on Twitter.   I don't know him. 

Unfortunately he hasn't got anyway to purchase his book other than credit card so I'll have to pass.

Whether you like him or not , he did a great job of promoting Tennessee football.
