F. M. Hall - Auburn

Auburn

In the fall of 1894, Hall served as the head football coach at Auburn University. He was the third head coach with an Ivy League background to be hired at Auburn. Auburn officials reportedly thought that "with a Princeton man (F. M. Hall) at the helm," they had the right man in charge of the football team.

Hall's team outscored opponents 106 to 48, but compiled a record of 1–3. Auburn's 94–0 victory over Georgia Tech in Atlanta was the highlight of Auburn's 1894 season. The score remains the highest single game point total, and the greatest margin of victory, in the history of Auburn Tigers football. Hall coached only one year at Auburn and was replaced by John Heisman.
