The College Football Hall of Fame holds 23 players and 5 coaches from Alabama. Bear Bryant (1958–1982) won more games here than any other coach: 232.

Conference titles
34, counting shared titlesAs the program counts them in its Wikipedia article, shared titles included, and listed under each conference’s current name (a Western Conference title of the 1900s counts as a Big Ten title); season pages use the name the conference had that year. A title the article files under a conference the team wasn’t in that season is listed under the one it was. Division titles include years the team tied for its division.

Officially 990–345–43 since 1892 (per Wikipedia, checked Oct 3, 2026); game by game here, 1,008–325–44 (+18 wins, −20 losses, +1 tie). Our file starts in 1900; the program began in 1892. Official totals drop vacated and forfeited wins. Some games are missing from our source.
No season on file for 1918, 1943: wartime seasons, when many programs didn’t play.
Game by game, 123 of 125 seasons are complete on file. For 2 seasons (1900–01) the record comes from coaching totals and some games are missing, so early totals and streaks count only the games on file.
Records are computed from every game on file at CollegeFootballData.com, whose coverage of the earliest seasons can be incomplete. Elo is this site’s own rating; see how it works on the records page.
