The Crimson Tide’s first season was in 1892. They won their first game vs. Birmingham High School by a score of 56-0 and went on to have a 2-2 record for that year.

Their coach was E. B. Beaumont who was fired after his first season. He was fired because:

"We were unfortunate in securing a coach. After keeping him for a short time, we found that his knowledge of the game was very limited. We therefore got rid of him." - The Corolla (The University of Alabama's yearbook)

Overall Alabama really only began having success in football starting in 1919 when they went 8-1. It's hard to imagine considering their present-day status!
