Ex-ND coach accepts 3rd straight NL Manager of Year Award: ‘Grateful’

Former Notre Dame baseball coach and current Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy was in a peculiar spot on Tuesday. Murphy was in the hospital resting after he had hip replacement surgery. The World Series champion coach, however, still appeared on MLB Network and accepted his third consecutive National League Manager of the Year award despite being in an unusual place. “I’m very grateful,” Murphy said. Murphy is coming off the best season in Brewers history. Milwaukee went 103-59, captured its first NL pennant in 44 years and secured the franchise’s first-ever World Series title. The longtime coach was at the helm of Notre Dame’s program from 1988 to 1994. Murphy guided the Irish to a combined 318-116-1 record and NCAA regional final bids in 1992 through 1994. In the seven seasons he coached at Notre Dame, Murphy led the team to 20-plus wins in four of the campaigns while the program competed in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (present-day Horizon League). ☘️☘️☘️ https://t.co/tkvLQSjpzL — Notre Dame Baseball (@NDBaseball) November 11, 2026 Contact/Follow us @IrishWireND on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Notre Dame news, notes and opinions.
