Kim Alsop

Kim Alsop is a former college head football coach. In 1984, he was hired to restart the football progran at Samford, which had been dormant since the end of the 1973 season. In his three season with the team, Samford compiled a 6-21 record. He was dismissed after his third season and replaced by Terry Bowden. Following Samford, Alsop would accept a position as Strength and Conditioning Coach with Louisiana Tech under head coach Carl Torbush.

Alsop would later resurface as a football coach in Mississippi at Jackson Academy, an independent school in Jackson, Mississippi. After a 1993 season when JA missed the playoffs despite having Ole Miss commitment Walker Jones at quarterback, Alsop left coaching. It remains unclear whether he resigned or was fired. He was replaced by Sherard Shaw.

Alsop played quarterback for a semi-pro football team in Tampa in the early 1960s.

Alsop, a former Quantico Marine, was head JV coach at Northeast High School in St. Petersburg, Fl. during the 1964 season, whereupon the varsity head coach was fired after the 1964 season and Alsop took over as Head Football coach in 1965. John M. Sexton was the Principal, of whom the football field is now named after at that high school. Several years later, Alsop was fired as head football coach for cause by that same John Sexton. A tough, meanspirited "old school" type coach who was demanding, and at times went beyond what would be considered acceptable during these days and times. Northeast competed in the Pinellas County Conference. Northeast beat teams they should have lost to, and lost to teams they should have beaten. No playoff games were ever attained under his tenure as head coach.
