The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football program represents the Georgia Institute of Technology in American football. The team competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level of the NCAA. Georgia Tech has fielded a team since 1892 and holds an all-time record of 772–548–43. The Yellow Jackets play at the historic Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field in Atlanta, Georgia. The Yellow Jackets claim four national championships across four decades. The program has also won 16 conference titles.
Among the team's former coaches are John Heisman, for whom the Heisman Trophy is named, and Bobby Dodd, for whom the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award and the school's stadium are named. Heisman coached the team that won the most lopsided game in football history (222–0), guided Georgia Tech to an undefeated 12–0–1 record in the Georgia Tech–Clemson football rivalry, and led the Jackets to a national championship. Dodd also led the Jackets to a national championship and oversaw their longest winning streak against the Georgia Bulldogs—8 straight games—in Tech's longest-running rivalry, called Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate (COFH).
In the 21st century, Georgia Tech has played in the ACC Championship Game four times: 2006, 2009, 2012, and 2014.
A number of successful collegiate and professional football players have played for Tech. The program has produced 48 first-team All-Americans and over 150 alumni who have played in the NFL. Some of the most notable players the school has produced are Calvin Johnson, Maxie Baughan, Demaryius Thomas, Keith Brooking, Joe Hamilton, Joe Guyon, Pat Swilling and Billy Shaw.
