Tim McFarlin, one of the most successful football coaches in Georgia high school history, is in his first season as Georgia Tech’s director of high school relations.
McFarlin spent 22 seasons as a head coach at three different schools in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell – Roswell H.S. (1998-2007), Blessed Trinity H.S. (2011-20) and Fellowship Christian School (2021-22). He led his teams to four state championships – one at Roswell (2006) and three-straight at Blessed Trinity (2017-19) – making him one of only 15 coaches in Georgia High School Association history to win state titles at two different schools.
In addition to the four state championships, McFarlin’s teams compiled 11 region titles and a 216-60-2 overall record (.781), making him the winningest coach in North Fulton County history.
Prior to taking over as head coach at Roswell in 1998, Roswell served for 16 years as an assistant at the school.
McFarlin and his wife, Kay, have been married for 40 years. They have a daughter, Courtney, a son, Will (who played golf at North Georgia), and a grandson, Taylor (Courtney’s son with her husband, Jim).
