Bill Curry was Alabama's coach in 1888.  
Brick throwing incident.

"A disgruntled idiot lobbed a brick through then-Alabama coach Bill Curry’s office window the day after the Ole Miss game in 1988."

"During his second season at Alabama, a brick was thrown through his office window following a 22-12 homecoming loss to Ole Miss. The Crimson Tide didn’t complete a single pass in the game. When Curry returned to his office the next day, he found the brick and broken glass.

“My first thought was, if the quarterback had been as accurate as the guy who threw the brick, we wouldn’t be discussing this,” Curry told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution."
