Head Coach Patrick Murphy 2008 ALABAMA SOFTBALL Crimson Tide Softball Head Coach Patrick Murphy Even more impressively, Murphy has led the program to a surge of popularity among Tide fans. Alabama has become a regular atop the nation’s attendance standings, with an ever-growing group of loyal fans who fill the stands at the Alabama softball facility throughout the season. In 2007, the team set a new benchmark by selling over 1,200 season tickets and has already eclipsed that impressive mark in 2008. Those numbers are what every softball coach in the nation would do anything to achieve and stand as a tribute both to what Murphy and his team have achieved and to the willingness of Tide fans to support a program that does things right, both on and off the field. Now in his 10th season as the head coach of the Crimson Tide, Mur- phy has turned his program into an absolute model of consistency, having guided Alabama to nine consecutive NCAA tournaments, in- cluding appearances in the 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2006 Women’s College World Series. In 2006, Murphy and his staff were named the NFCA South Region Coaching Staff of the Year for the third time after leading Alabama to its first SEC Championship and fourth trip to the Women’s College World Series. The team finished with a 54-11 record and a 25-4 mark in the SEC. Since taking over prior to the 1999 season, he has compiled a win- ning record in all nine seasons. He has won 45 or more games in each of the past eight years with a program-best 66 victories in 2000 and 63 Patrick Murphy wins in 2005. Murphy has also won over 20 games in conference play in seven of his nine seasons in the SEC. The 2006 campaign marked the second time he had posted 25 conference victories, matching the 2000 Born: November 28, 1965 season in which the Tide went 25-5.
