s. Included in these games are 31 combined appearances in the traditional "big four" bowl games (the Rose

, Cotton, and Orange
) and 3 Bowl Championship Series
(BCS) game appearances, including one in the BCS National Championship Game
.
Alabama's first bowl game was in 1926, when Wallace Wade led them to the first of three Rose Bowls during his tenure and defeated Washington 20–19
. Taking over for Wade following the 1930 season, between 1931 and 1946 Frank Thomas led Alabama to six bowl appearances including three Rose, and one trip each to the Cotton, Orange and Sugar Bowls. After Thomas, Harold Drew
led Alabama to the Sugar, Orange and Cotton Bowls between 1947 and 1954. After a five-year bowl absence, Alabama made the first of 24 consecutive bowl appearances under Paul "Bear" Bryant
in the 1959 Liberty Bowl
. From 1959 to 1982, Bryant led the Crimson Tide to eight Sugar, five Orange, four Cotton, four Liberty, two Bluebonnet
and one Gator Bowl
s.
After Bryant retired, Ray Perkins extended Alabama's consecutive bowl game streak to 25 years with a victory in the 1983 Sun Bowl
. However, the streak ended when the 1984 team finished the season with a record of five wins and six losses and failed to qualify for a bowl for the first time in 26 years. The bowl absence lasted only one season as Perkins led the Crimson Tide to wins in both the Aloha
and Sun Bowls before he resigned as head coach following the 1986 season. Bill Curry
continued the bowl tradition and led the Crimson Tide to Hall of Fame
, Sun and Sugar Bowl appearances in his three seasons as head coach. After Curry, Gene Stallings
took Alabama to the Fiesta
, Blockbuster
, Gator, Citrus
and Outback Bowls. Stallings also led the Crimson Tide to victory in the first Bowl Coalition

in the Sugar Bowl. However, his tenure was not without controversy. In August 1995, as part of the penalty imposed by the NCAA for rules violations, Alabama was ruled ineligible to participate in the 1995 bowl season
.
Following the retirement of Stallings, Mike DuBose
was hired as head coach. After failing to qualify for a bowl game in 1997
, DuBose led the Crimson Tide to the inaugural Music City Bowl
and Alabama's first BCS bowl berth in the Orange Bowl. After again failing to qualify for a bowl in 2000
, DuBose was fired and Dennis Franchione
was hired as head coach. In his first season, Franchione led Alabama to the Independence Bowl
. In February 2002, the NCAA found Alabama violated multiple rules, and as part of its penalty a two-year bowl ban was imposed to include both the 2002
and 2003
seasons. Eligible again to compete in bowl games, Mike Shula
led Alabama to the Music City Bowl and a victory in the Cotton Bowl. However in 2009, Alabama was again found to have violated NCAA rules between 2005 and 2007 and as part of their penalty, the 2006 Cotton Bowl Classic victory was officially vacated. In the week following the 2006 loss to Auburn
, Shula was fired and Joe Kines
served as interim head coach for the Independence Bowl loss.
In January 2007, Nick Saban
was hired as head coach, and has led the Crimson Tide to bowl appearances in each of his four seasons at Alabama. After defeating Colorado
in the Independence Bowl, Saban led Alabama to their second BCS bowl against Utah
in the Sugar Bowl. In 2009, Saban led the Crimson Tide to the BCS National Championship Game, and defeated Texas 37–21 to clinch the program's first national title of the BCS era. The latest bowl occurred on January 1, 2011, when Alabama defeated Michigan State
49–7 in the Capital One Bowl
. A win in that game brought Alabama's overall bowl record to 32 wins, 22 losses and 3 ties, placing the Crimson Tide in first place among all FBS schools for both bowl appearances and victories.
