ATLANTA — Georgia Tech’s Danny Hall will step away from coaching after this baseball season.
The school announced the move Thursday, setting an end date to Hall’s 32-season run in charge of the Yellow Jackets. Hall has 1,432 wins in 38 seasons as a head coach to rank 10th in NCAA Division I baseball history.
In a news release, the 70-year-old Ohio native said he and wife Kara “look forward to one last ride in the Ramblin’ Wreck.” The team was 21-4 overall and 7-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play entering Friday.
Hall took over in 1994 and has led Georgia Tech to seven ACC regular-season championships, five conference tournament titles, 21 NCAA tournament berths and three trips to the College World Series.
He is a four-time ACC coach of the year and was named national coach of the year by The Sporting News in 1997. He came to the Atlanta program after six seasons leading Kent State.
“The coaches, players, athletics directors, staff and alumni have all been a huge part of our success,” Hall said. “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.”
