Tony Reno

I mean the bottom of coaching in NCAA football.

Tony Reno went on to do this, this.

I think he had, what, 14 jobs? Yeah.

Before he got to head coach at Yale, here's a single sentence.

The team won five Ivy League championships, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, and we've lost Tony Reno.

What did he mean for your program?

I'll tell you what he meant for me.

How about the Harvard Colgate ending? I mean, a Hail Mary where it's like he caught it like 10 yards short, pitches it to the wideout who runs it in.

Also, I mean, Dante Reno, Yale.

You know, Yale's – his dad, the coach that was a coach just a season ago, passes away.

He plays in the game, balls out.

I went in on Yale on the morning show because that wasn't a lock on this show.

I just thought, man, I thought about – Just great moment for the team to get up for one of their own, you know, want to send our love and condolences to the Reno family.

But, yeah, and then Cal Poly Weber State at night was a classic.

West Florida finally got drilled by Abilene Christian.

A roller coaster for the Rams this season.

That's a tough place to go play, although the stadium looked kind of empty, which is kind of disappointing after all the emotion for Tony Reno's passing and Dante Reno.

But we talked about some of the emotional, you know, where there's enough, there's usually a little bit of a down, and the Rams took advantage of it.

Yeah, but you know, when the Rams, when Rhode Island plays like that, they're one of the best teams in the country.

You mentioned Tom Mulhern, who I got to know a little bit, and I swear I saw you tweet something about this because that's why I went and watched it.

It was a story around former longtime Yale football coach Tony Reno dying of a similar disease or the same thing that afflicted Tom Mulhern.

Yes, Crutsfeld-Jacobs disease.

I'll give you this opportunity to want to talk about the devastation around it because I think it was Jen Latta, our teammate, that did the story on it.

And like, and like obviously I just graduated college that year, so I was ki- I was kinda figuring out what I wanted to do, and I still, I knew I wanted to do creative media.

And, um, but it was probably like the week that I was supposed to leave, um, Tony Reno called me and said, "Hey, we have a position open, like you might, might, might wanna come down and check out the campus." And I was like, "Okay, sure." I went down there, um, kinda toured the campus, like met, met the team.

And they told me, like, "Okay, we'll let you know," and it was the day I was supposed to leave.

Tony Reno called me at 6:30 in the morning and said, "Oh, we wanna offer you the creative director job for the football team." So it was, um, obviously it was a lot different because working for a team I started, I learned a lot about branding.

Like it was more, a lot more about branding, and a lot more short form content outside of long form.

So it was kind of figuring out how can we post daily to keep, um, keep, keep it going.
