Palm Springs high school football coach Dan Murphy resigns after 11 seasons
It's the end of an era for Palm Springs football.
Head coach Dan Murphy is resigning after 11 seasons with the program.
Don't want this to get lost in the madness of March because Dan Murphy deserves a proper sendoff. He was the man. A player, coach (and media) favorite, he was always gracious with his time and got the best out of those around him. Enjoy Arkansas, Murph!https://t.co/TckxuWftus

The team thanked Murphy on its Instagram page.
"Thank you, Coach Murphy for coaching at his alma mater and we will forever be proud to call his coach!" reads the post.

He won 76 games in his career, including 1 CIF championship and 3 league titles.
