The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Football Program represents the Georgia Institute of Technology in the NCAA Division 1 Collegiate Competitors in the sport of American football. Tech began its football program with several students forming a loose-knit troop of footballers called the Blacksmiths. On November 5, 1892, Tech played its first football game against Mercer University.
The team lost to Mercer 12–6 in Macon, Georgia. Tech played two other games during their first season and lost both of them for a season record of 0–3. Discouraged by these results, the Blacksmiths sought a coach to improve their record. Leonard Wood, an Army officer, and Atlantan heard of Tech’s football struggles and volunteered to player-coach the team.

Georgia Tech Fires Paul Hewitt as Head Coach; Could Bobby Cremins Return? Two days after Georgia Tech was dismissed from the ACC Tournament, Georgia Tech fired head coach Paul Hewitt.
Despite 11 years on the job, Hewitt could never recapture or build upon the success he had in 2004 when he led the Yellow Jackets to the national championship game. In those 11 years at Georgia Tech, Hewitt managed only one season with a winning conference record. Hewitt’s overall record was 190–162, and his record in the ACC was 72–104.
