NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Yale University went to Harvard to find its new football coach.
Tony Reno, who served as an assistant for the Crimson for the past three seasons, was introduced Thursday afternoon as the Bulldogs new coach, ending a turbulent process that began with the resignation of Tom Williams over embellishments to his resume.
Reno, 37, was the third coach reported to be in line for the job. UConn defensive coordinator Don Brown took himself out of consideration on Monday, after several media outlets reported he would be offered the position.
On Wednesday night, Georgetown coach Kevin Kelly did the same thing.
Reno coached the defensive backs and special teams at Harvard. He had previously been a defensive back coach at Yale.
