Tony Reno has resigned as head coach of Yale Football, citing health reasons. Reno, 52, had been on medical leave since the conclusion of the last season, and his resignation is effective immediately.
Over 14 seasons, Reno guided the Bulldogs to five Ivy League championships. His record of 83-49 places him second in program history for career victories. During his tenure, Yale achieved significant success against archrival Harvard, winning seven of the past nine contests.
Reno's son, Dante, quarterbacked the Bulldogs to a 9-3 record and an Ivy League title last season. The team also made a postseason appearance, narrowly losing to eventual FCS champion Montana State after a comeback victory against Youngstown State.
Yale athletic director Victoria Chun praised Reno's leadership as transformational, emphasizing his impact extended beyond championships and inspired many within the university.
