Jennings Frederick Gillem (c. 1890 – November 11, 1951), nicknamed "Jenks" and "Sam", was an American college football player and coach. Gillem played for the Sewanee Tigers of Sewanee: The University of the South, and was selected All-Southern in 1910, 1911, and 1912. His ability punting the football netted him a spot on an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1869-1919 era team.[1][2] He served as the head football coach at Howard College—now known as Samford University (1924–1926), Birmingham–Southern College (1928–1939), and Sewanee (1940–1941), compiling a career college football record of 73–65–10. Gillem died on November 11, 1951, at a hospital in Gadsden, Alabama, after a long illness.[3] He was 5'9" and 150 pounds.
