Birmingham football, 1904–1917

Birmingham football, 1904–1917 encompassed all of the seasons of college football played at Birmingham College prior to its merger with Southern University in 1918 to form Birmingham–Southern College. The team competed as an independent and played its home games at several locations in Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham played its first season in 1904, and after going winless in its first two seasons, it defeated Alabama Presbyterian in 1907 for the first victory in the school's history. Birmingham played smaller Alabama schools exclusively through 1909, after which they played larger schools like Alabama, Mississippi A&M, and Vanderbilt.

Douglas "Duck" Henry was the first person to serve as head coach for more than a single season, leading the team to a 1–12–1 record in 1911 and 1912. He was followed by Wallace Pinson who coached the team to a 5–8–2 record from 1913 to 1915. Charles H. Brown took over as head coach in 1916 and led the team to its most successful season to date with a 7–1 record and shutout victories in its final six games.
