NEW HAVEN, Conn. – 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 as the new Bulldogs coach, ending a turbulent process that began with the resignation of Tom Williams over embellishments to his resume.

“I am the right person for this job,” Reno said. “There is not another person that understands this place. There is not another person that can recruit this place, and can produce the football program we’re going to produce here.”

Reno, 37, was the third coach reported to be in line for the job. UConn defensive coordinator Don Brown took himself out of consideration Monday, after media outlets reported he would be offered the position. Wednesday night, Georgetown coach Kevin Kelly did the same thing.
