The Jim Wells era at Alabama is over.
The longtime Crimson Tide baseball coach retired Tuesday, ending a 15-year tenure that featured huge success through the first eight-or-so years but seemed to slip into mediocrity after that. Mitch Gaspard, an Alabama assistant and the team’s recruiting coordinator the past two seasons, has been elevated to head coach in Wells’ place.
