Very surprised Cahill decided to cash in his recent success for Yale. Yale is a great job but it's a dead end for a coach that is looking to one day be a power 4 Head Coach.

Reno had great success, perfect age, proven recruiter, leader. He couldn't get past 1st base with openings like UConn, Rice, UMASS, JMU, BC, Coastal, Stanford.

Great hire for a Yale fan

Author: observer [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 09:22:41 02/25/26 Wed Who needs a lifetime job if you get a $54m buyout after 3 middling seasons at a P4 school? Who's enjoying his free time more right now - Tim Murphy or Brian Kelly?

The “before” matters as much as the “after”…Tim Murphy spent nearly 30 years at Harvard, where he was revered (the field at Harvard Stadium is named after him). He coached in a great environment and certainly made enough to meet his needs. At one point he was president of the American Football Coaches Association. He mentored thousands of players (some of whom are now in the NFL). Would he have traded that, and his path in retirement, for Brian Kelly’s life? I don’t think so, personally.

Kevin Cahill was an assistant coach at Yale for 10 years, and was very well-respected. The Yale HC role was his dream. I think his three kids were born or spent their childhood in New Haven. He and his wife met in college up the road in Springfield. He inherits a great program from Tony Reno, and he could be there for 20 years or more (he’d be in his late 60s). I think he wants to be Tim Murphy rather than Brian Kelly.

That said, who knows what options might be available to him now that the Ivy League participates in the FCS playoffs (which wasn’t the case in the Murphy era)? Some deep runs there would get him a lot of attention.

Author: observer [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:37:26 02/26/26 Thu The irony of this comment on an Ivy League message board, a conference in which 70% of football players seek jobs in investment banking after graduation - and such a carrot is always used in recruiting...
