Albert B. Elmore (November 19, 1904 – July 26, 1988) was an American college football coach and player, as well as a basketball coach. A graduate of the University of Alabama, Elmore led the Troy State Teachers College (now known as Troy University) from 1931 to 1937, compiling a 35–30–3 record.^[1] He also coached basketball at the Virginia Military Institute for one season in the late 1930s.

Coaching career

Following his graduation from Alabama, Elmore began coaching in 1931 at the Troy State Teachers College. He is credited with changing the team mascot to "Red Wave" (this was a variation of Alabama's "Crimson Tide", and the current nickname is "Trojans").^[2] In seven years at Troy State, five of which were winning seasons, Elmore compiled a 35–30–3 record.^[1]

Elmore then left for the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia, where headed the school's freshman football team as well as the basketball team in the 1937–38 season. The Keydets were 4–11 in Elmore's lone season at the Institute.^[3]

Personal life

Elmore was born on November 19, 1904 in Reform, Alabama, to his father Albert Elmore, Sr. and Mary Lee Elmore.^[4] He grew up with one sister, Mary Earle Adams. Elmore died on July 26, 1998 in Troy.
