During the late 90s I thought the Bama baseball program was on the verge of doing something really special. It never came to fruition.
Why was Wells never able to build upon that success?

he's been wanting to retire for several years now. i think the adm. has talked him out of it once or twice. i'm sure he has his reasons, probably personal. he's a very good coach that seems to have lost the fire in his belly. happens a lot. the state of alabama has some good baseball. somebody highly motivated could bring the program back up in a few short years. i believe the UA fans would support the program if it was a winner.

He was afraid of Paul Manieri and LSU. I liked Wells but I think he got a lot of pressure from the bammers since Saban's recent success and hiring of Grant. It was time for a change and more will come out in the next couple of weeks about how Mal is a tool and "Saban wanted him gone..." Anyway, Best of luck to Wells.

I have no idea why but I hear we made a monster offer to the guy at LSU.
