Coach Jim Reid is back home with the UMass Minutemen.
Reid's UMass bio (I didn't think it would be up yet.)
Reid is going to be a real asset to the coaching staff. He was head coach of the Minutemen from 1986-1991. His 67 games as head coach is 3rd all-time in games coached and 4th in all-time victories. It should be noted that most of his time as head coach was during a real lean era for UMass football. He did not get a lot of institutional support. FCS allowed 63 scholarships and Reid never had anything close to that.
When UMass played Maine in Orno, the team would stop at rest stops on the Maine Turnpike and eat boxed lunches on picnic tables..
He's a former Power Five defensive coordinator and he'll take the UMass defense up a couple of notches.
