On May 24th, Harvard football coach Tim Murphy embarked on the 2010 USO/Morale Entertainment Coaches’ Tour, along with Texas Tech’s Tommy Tuberville, Chip Kelley from the University of Oregon, West Point’s Rich Ellison, and Illinois’ Ron Zook.
The whirlwind tour—which took the five coaches to Germany and Southwest Asia to meet and encourage U.S. troops—concluded nine days later. Courtesy of USO’s Oname Thompson, read some of Murphy’s thoughts on the tour after the jump:
-“[The tour] was not something I had to think about, and I committed to it on the spot.”
-“We have two recent Harvard Football players who are at Camp Pendelton [Calif.] as Marine Corp officers awaiting deployment to Afghanistan, and it’s the least I can do to show my support for them and all the brave men and women of our armed forces.”
