We definitely shouldn't be paying a fraction of what other programs pay, but I don't see this as a great argument for him. Would paying him more have gotten us more championships? Wouldn't that make our yearly fizzle worse?


So, in the last 10 years Bama has "fizzled" 9 times, and the program that has won the most, OU, has "fizzled" 7 times, UF has "fizzled" 8 of the last 10 years. What program isn't a great "fizzler" according to your definition?

Bama has finished in the top 3 five times in the last 11 years, has made the WCWS 11 times since the turn of the century and made the tournament every year since Murphy became the coach in 1999. Only 2 programs have been to the WCWS more than Bama since Murphy became the coach and only 5 teams have more NCs than Bama during that time. He's a great coach.

I sure wish the baseball program would start fizzling out more

Murphy has been our coach for 20 years. During that time, we've won 1 national title and appeared in 2 title series. Here are teams that have won more than 1 national title in that time frame:

UCLA (4)
Oklahoma (4)
Arizona (3)
Arizona State (2)
Florida (2)

We have been tied for 7th or better 10 times, and I guess that's impressive. If you think getting into the top 10 is our ceiling, then fine. I think a team at our level should have played in more than 2 title series in the past 20 years.
