On August 2, 2019, the New York Rangers announced the hiring of Murphy as an associate head coach with the Hartford WolfPack, the Rangers AHL affiliate. He was hired as an assistant coach by the Flyers on June 18, 2014. After working for Florida Panthers as an assistant coach, Murphy was fired on Novemalong with head coach Kevin Dineen and assistant coach Craig Ramsay. He worked as an assistant coach with the Columbus Blue Jackets from the 2002–03 NHL season until he was fired as a part of an overall coaching change on June 16, 2010. He was a member of the 1996 Florida Panthers, who won the Eastern Conference before losing in the Stanley Cup Finals. He also played in 53 Stanley Cup playoff games, scoring three goals and recording 16 assists. He scored 85 goals and added 238 assists. In his NHL career, Murphy played in 863 games.

After playing three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Oshawa Generals, Murphy made his professional debut with the Flyers' AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, in the 1987–88 season. The Rangers have two rookies on the roster this season, with at least two more expected over the next couple of seasons.He was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the ninth round, 189th overall, of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft. Given Murphy’s reputation as a defenseman developer, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him stick with the Rangers into next season.

The top-six are basically set, and it is unlikely that the coaching staff will have the courage to replace Marc Staal in the lineup. It is unlikely that Murphy makes any major changes to the defense pairings in the playoffs. He also has worked with Libor Hajek and Yegor Rykov in Hartford for most of the season.

This past season, Murphy has worked with current Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren. While the system won’t change, it will be interesting to what Murphy does with the defense pairs. It is expected that he will take on that role with the Rangers as well. Murphy worked primarily with the defensemen in Philly, and he took that role in Hartford. After the Flyers cleaned house from the Ron Hextall era, Murphy was let go. Previously, he had spent the last five seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers as an assistant coach. Murphy joined the Hartford Wolf Pack this year as an Associate Coach. Gord Murphy will join NYR staff for playoffs, replacing Lindy Ruff
