THE ED ALLEN FILE

Ed Allen returns for his sixth season as the head women’s volleyball coach at the University of Alabama in 2016. Allen was named the head women’s volleyball coach at the Capstone on Jan. 10, 2011, after being named the 2010 Conference USA Coach of the Year and the 2010 AVCA Midwest Regional Coach of the Year at the University of Tulsa.

Allen, the fourth head coach in the history of the Alabama volleyball program, has led the Crimson Tide to a 98-68 overall record in his time at the Capstone. He has quickly built Alabama into a contender, earning the program’s first winning season in four years in 2012 with 18 wins, the most since 2005. He improved even further on that mark in his third season, guiding Alabama to a 24-10 record in 2013 and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007. The 24 wins were the most for the Tide since 1995. His stellar 2013 campaign helped earn him AVCA South Region Coach of the Year honors. In 2014, the Tide improved even further, totaling a school-record 26 wins, including the program’s first ever NCAA Tournament victory with a five-set win over Samford in the opening
