Tennessee swimming and diving head coach Matt Kredich<\/strong> announced the addition of assistant coach Rich Murphy<\/strong> to the program’s staff.<\/p>\n

Murphy has a long track record of mentoring Olympians and international-caliber swimmers on the club and collegiate level.<\/p>\n

He has spent most of the last decade helping lead the Dynamo Swim Club in Atlanta. After being on staff from 2007-13. He rejoined the club in 2015 as an associate head coach guiding the competitive platform.<\/p>\n

During the 2013-14 season, Murphy was the women’s head coach at the University of Houston, leading the team to its best NCAA finish in five years.<\/p>\n

“I’m thrilled to bring Rich Murphy into the Tennessee Swimming and Diving family,” Kredich said. “Rich is widely regarded as one of the top coaches in the country. He has had a long track record of coaching athletes to elite performances across a number of events and distances. He has worked with dozens of Olympians and many All-Americans, but one of the best things I can say is that all of the people I’ve talked to about him have said some version of the same thing: ‘Great Coach, better man.’<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s a great fit for Tennessee. He’s very competitive, he’s very humble, and he’s always looking to get better.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Between the stops of his career, he has worked with 39 Olympians. He has previously served as an assistant coach at Auburn (2006-07) and Bowling Green (2005-06). On the club scene, he was a volunteer assistant for Club Wolverine at Michigan under coaches Bob Bowman<\/strong> and Jon Urbanchek<\/strong> when Michael Phelps<\/strong> trained there (2005-06) and was the head coach for Sun Devil Aquatics at Arizona State (2003-05).<\/p>\n

He is the current coach of 2012 and 2016 Olympian Matias<\/strong> Koski<\/strong>, an NCAA champion distance swimmer who competed at the University of Georgia, and 2016 Olympian Jay Litherland<\/strong> and his brothers Kevin<\/strong> and Mick<\/strong>, who all swim at Georgia.<\/p>\n
