Allen Gauthier McCants (August 20, 1875 – December 14, 1953) was an American football player and coach.
He served as the head football coach at the University of Alabama in 1897.
McCants was also a player for Alabama's inaugural football team in 1892.
Due to a ban the university had placed on athletic teams traveling off campus, McCants' 1897 team only played one game, a 6–0 victory over the Tuscaloosa Athletic Club.
As a further result of the ban, Alabama did not field a team in 1898.
When the ban was lifted and football was resumed in 1899, W.
A.
Martin was named as the new head coach.
