HARTWELL, Ga. — Hart County High School has named Biff Parson as its new head football coach, the Hart County Charter System announced Tuesday.
Parson brings more than 20 years of coaching, teaching and leadership experience at the high school, collegiate and professional levels, according to Grayson Williams, director of community relations for the Hart County Charter System.
Most recently, Parson served as head football coach and assistant athletic director at Rockmart High School. During his tenure, Rockmart made 10 consecutive playoff appearances, won nine straight region championships and finished as the AA state runner-up in 2018 and 2023.
“Hart County is excited to welcome Coach Parson back home,” Superintendent Jennifer Carter said. “His extensive experience, proven leadership, and commitment to developing student-athletes both on and off the field align perfectly with our vision for Hart County Schools. We are confident he will build strong relationships with our students, families, and community while continuing the proud tradition of Hart County football.”
Parson has previously held head coaching and coordinator roles at several Georgia high schools, including Banks County, Mary Persons, Lamar County, Dublin and Villa Rica. He also served as offensive coordinator at Hart County High School early in his career in 2002.
His background includes professional and collegiate experience as well. Parson coached in NFL Europe with the Frankfurt Galaxy, helping guide the team to a World Bowl championship in 2006 and a runner-up finish in 2007. He also coached quarterbacks at Liberty University.
In addition to football, Parson has coached track, basketball and golf, earning region and state championships in multiple sports. He is a board member of the Georgia Football Coaches Association and has served as football chairman of the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association since 2018. His experience also includes coaching multiple all-star teams, including the GACA and FCA All-Star games.
Parson holds a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Liberty University, a master’s degree in coaching from Georgia Southern University and a specialist degree in physical education from Augusta University.
As a player, Parson was a multi-sport standout at Franklin County High School and a four-year quarterback at Liberty University, where he was a two-year starter, team MVP and an All-American honorable mention selection. He later signed as a free agent with the Canadian Football League.
“My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Bulldog family,” Parson said. “This is a community that cares deeply about its students and its football program, and I can’t wait to pour into our players and compete at a high level.”
Parson and his wife, Anna, have two sons and will make Hart County home. Anna will join Hart County High School as a math teacher.
