Legendary Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall will step down from his role after 32 seasons with the Yellow Jackets following the conclusion of the 2025 season, the program announced Thursday.

Hall ranks 10th all-time in Division I history with 1,432 wins, 1,224 of which came during his 32 seasons with the Georgia Tech.

“I have made a decision to step away from coaching at the end of this season,” Hall said in press release. “My family and I have been blessed beyond belief for 32 wonderful years of wearing the White and Gold.

“The coaches, players, athletics directors, staff and alumni have all been a huge part of our success. I have great memories of being a part of our players’ careers, but especially cherish having the opportunity to see my sons, Carter and Colin, play here and earn Georgia Tech degrees. Tech is special and Tech baseball players are true Tech men. Thank all of you for the memories that will last a lifetime.”

Hall led Georgia Tech to new heights after taking over the program in 1994, guiding it to all three of its trips to the College World Series, including a runner-up finish in 1994. The Yellow Jackets have won seven ACC regular-season titles, five ACC Tournament championships and reached six super regionals under Hall’s watch.

Hall has four times been named ACC Coach of the Year (1997, 2000, 2005 and 2019) and was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2023.

“Dr. Homer Rice gave me the opportunity to coach the Jackets in 1994 and, man, what a blessing that was to go to the College World Series for the first time,” Hall said. “My passion is the same today as it was then, so I want our 2025 team to take the journey as far as it can go. My wife, Kara, and I look forward to one last ride in the Ramblin’ Wreck. Let’s get in the car and make this season one to celebrate. God is great! Go Jackets!”

The Yellow Jackets are off to a fantastic start in Hall’s final season with a 21-4 overall record and 7-2 mark in conference play, putting them just on the cusp of the Baseball America Top 25.

BA projected the Yellow Jackets to be a No. 2 seed in the Oxford Regional in our latest Field of 64.

“Danny Hall is one of the most legendary head coaches in the history of college baseball, and Georgia Tech is proud and fortunate to call him one of our own,” Georgia Tech vice president and director of athletics J Batt said. “On behalf of the entire Tech community, I thank Coach Hall for all that he has done for the Institute, its fans and, most importantly, the hundreds of baseball student-athletes that he has mentored here over the last 32 years. Coach Hall and our team are off to an exciting start in 2025 and we’re looking forward to their continued success throughout this season.”
