Longtime Georgia Tech baseball coach Danny Hall says he’ll leave Jackets after season

Legendary Georgia Tech baseball head coach Danny Hall has announced that he will step away from coaching following the season.

Hall’s 1,432 wins in 38 seasons as a head coach rank 10th in NCAA Division I history. The win total includes 1,224 in 32 seasons at Tech.

Hall’s latest contract, signed April 1, 2022, is set to expire June 30 and would need to extended by June 15. Hall is making an annual salary of $510,000.

“I have made a decision to step away from coaching at the end of this season,” Hall said. “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.

“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. 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.”
