He earned a bachelor\u2019s degree and a master\u2019s degree from Alabama in 1972 and 1973, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Following his initial stint with the Tide, he returned to his hometown to become head coach of Lakeside Swim Club. It was during this time that he was appointed to the coaching staff of the 1979 USA Pan American Games team. In that competition one of his swimmers, <strong>Mary T. Meagher<\/strong>, surprised the swimming world by establishing her first of several world records.<\/p>\n<p>Meagher, who would be crowned \u201cMadam Butterfly,\u201d earned a place on the 1980 U.S. Olympic team and went on to set world records that stood for decades.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Meagher and four others, Pursley coached <strong>Glenn Mills<\/strong> to a spot on the USA Olympic squad in 1980. Mills would go on to swim for the Tide, winning the NCAA 200 breaststroke title in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>Pursley then became head coach of the Cincinnati Marlins and led them to their first three national championship titles. Eleven swimmers on his 1980 championship team accounted for 28 top-25 world rankings in individual events and eight Marlin relays were ranked among the top 25 in the world in that same year. After placing six swimmers on the 1980 USA Olympic Team who accounted for two world records and four No. 1 world rankings, Pursley was appointed to the USA Olympic Team staff and was awarded 1980 \u201cCoach of the Year\u201d honors by the American Swimming Coaches Association.<\/p>\n<p>During the first decade of Pursley\u2019s career, his swimmers accounted for seven world records, 12 American Records and 20 U.S. National Championship titles as well as numerous medals in major international competitions &#8211; including the Olympic Games and the World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>In 1981, Pursley was named as the first head coach of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), where he served as head coach of the combined team for two years and the men\u2019s team until August, 1984. Six of the AIS athletes who had trained under Pursley (four men and two women) accounted for half of Australia\u2019s medals in the 1984 Olympic Games. Only one of those Olympians was ranked among the top 20 in the world in 1983.<\/p>\n<p>He was appointed the first USA Swimming National Team Director in 1989 and was responsible for all aspects of the Team USA program. During his 14-year tenure, the medal production of the USA team skyrocketed.<\/p>\n<p>The USA team finished first in the medal count in both men\u2019s and women\u2019s competitions in all three Olympiads of his tenure, culminating with 33 medals, including 14 gold, at the 2000 Olympics which was described by \u201cSports Illustrated\u201d as the greatest team performance of all time. In recognition of his contributions, Pursley was awarded the United States Olympic Committee Chairman\u2019s \u201cCoaching Award\u201d for 2000.<\/p>\n<p>The Hall of Fame coach returned to the deck of the Alabama Aquatic Center after leading Great Britain to a UK record 23 spots in the championship finals of the London Olympics in the summer of 2012.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t take Pursley long to work his magic with the Crimson Tide. In 2014, his second year in Tuscaloosa, Pursley led Alabama to a record-shattering season that saw the men\u2019s and women\u2019s teams break a combined 21 school records including 19 of 36 swimming records. Both the men and the women made significant moves up the rankings at both the Southeastern Conference and NCAA Championships. After moving up six spots at the SEC Championships and 16 spots at the NCAA Championships, the Tide men were named the 2014 \u201cBreak-Out Team\u201d of the year by the College Swimming &amp; Diving Honors program.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, his third season at Alabama\u2019s helm, he led the Tide men to their first top-10 NCAA finish since 1994 and the Tide women to their first top-30 national finish since 2005. The Tide also continued rewriting the school record board in 2015, breaking 21 Alabama marks for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing its amazing run in 2016, the men posted a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships, their highest finish since 1983 while the women took 28th their best finish since 2005. With a 10th-place finish in 2015 and a sixth-place finish in 2016, Alabama\u2019s men posted back-to-back NCAA top-10 finishes for the first time since 1985 and 1986 when the Crimson Tide finished eighth both years.<\/p>\n<p>Pursley and his wife Mary Jo have five children, Lisa, Brian, David, Steven and J.J. Lisa and David are both past members of his Alabama staff as assistant coaches, while J.J. is a senior on the 2016-17 men\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<h2><a
