Flowery Branch Football Coach Ben Hall: A Formula for Success
Education and football have always been a big part of Flowery Branch football coach Ben Hall’s life, so it is no surprise that he has remained in both areas for most of his life, as a player and as a coach.
Hall has led the Falcons program since 2017. He served as an assistant at Flowery Branch beginning in 2008 after spending a short period of time away from education and coaching.
“After getting married, I thought it may be a good idea to try to make a little more money, so I got into private business down in the Tampa area. But after two years I missed coaching, so I decided that I wanted to get back into it,” says Hall.
That love for education and coaching came from his early life as a child, then as he grew older.
“My parents were teachers, and my dad was a high school football coach, so I was able to experience the relationships he had with other coaches and players,” said Hall. “I knew at an early age that the coaching profession was special and something I was drawn to.”
Hall would attend and play football at Franklin County High School, where he played offensive line under his father, line coach Bill Hall. He then moved on to Furman University on scholarship, where he played offensive line for the Paladins. It was there during his time as a player that his college coach could see his potential as a coach.
