The greatest man, leader, and mentor I have ever met. You have changed the lives of hundreds of men who were lucky enough to call you “Coach.” On behalf of all YFB alumni, we thank you and your family for your service to Yale. Love you Coach❤️ @CoachRenoYale

Sometimes the people we love remain, through doing exactly what they loved. Tom Rinaldi takes us through the story of the late Yale coach Tony Reno, and his son Dante playing at QB for his father.

"Dad would want you to play." "So I went out there and played." A day after his father, legendary Yale coach Tony Reno, died at 52 years old, Dante Reno honored his father's legacy with a four-TD performance for the ages ❤️ @JenLada has more:

They’ll be no more remarkable performance in college football today than the one put forth by Yale QB Dante Reno. One day after his father passed away, he played for Yale and threw four touchdown passes and for 298 yards. Yale beat Merrimack 41-24. Bravo.
