The improbable Blake Sims led Alabama to one of its most improbable championships
Entering the Spring of 2014, the Crimson Tide was smarting, or at least it was reeling as much any team coming off a 12-win season could do.
Alabama had just seen its chance for a three-peat sail into the arms of Auburn's Chris Davis, into Iron Bowl lore, and into our place of nightmares. Having missed out on its chance for an SEC and national title, Alabama then proceeded to flop dramatically in the Sugar Bowl, the result of poor leadership by the players as much as scheme and execution by the coaches.
