show me three divas

Tired of seeing all of the negative comments towards Murph from bama “fans”… the amount of hate this man receives year in and year out for “underachieving” or “not having a successful season” yet still reaching the WCWS in last 4 out of 5 years says something about his coaching

Let me say this since I’m being burned at the stake for asking the question if it’s time for a head coaching change in softball. I asked to start a conversation. I asked to get others’ opinions. Apparently that’s a crime these days haha. I’m not in anyway discounting what Murphy or any of the girls have done for that program. There’s no doubt that Murphy has created a program that has historically made it to the WCWS almost yearly. But, are we really saying it’s okay that we’re content with 1 national title in his 25 years at Alabama? Alabama has not won a national title since 2012. Name one other Alabama sport (besides golf) that fans wouldn’t be losing their minds if that program hadn’t won another championship in over a decade and coaching changes weren’t made? Alabama athletics = a standard of success. The goal of all sports is a national title. It took having several coaches to get the basketball program where it should be. I can’t imagine having a football program that made it year after year to the playoffs and didn’t win, and fans weren’t mad. Once again, I asked a question to start a conversation. Because I think it’s an important conversation to have. What needs to change? How can Alabama get past this slump of making it to the WCWS and not winning it all?
