National championship softball coach Patrick Murphy was helping fans at Bryant-Denny stadium before the Alabama-LSU game.

Murphy was pictured with athletic director Greg Byrne working as a ticket ally in a tweet sent out by Byrne.

Byrne has previously tweeted photos of him being a ticket ally but this is the first time Murphy or any other Alabama athletics coach has been seen helping. The athletic department as been trying new measures, including the ticket allies, to improve the gameday experience this season.

Murphy led the program to its only national championship 2012.

Murphy is in his 24th season at the helm of Alabama softball team but has been apart of the team since its creation in 1996. Since then he has taken the program to 13 Women's College World Series berths in 22 straight NCAA Tournament bids. Murphy has led the team to five SEC tournament titles, most recently last season.

Alabama softball starts the season at the Mike Candrea Invitational on February 11th through the 13th.
