University of Northwestern Athletics

Assistant Football Coach 1980-'88, Head Football Coach 1989-'90, Head Baseball Coach 1981-'89

During Coach Reynolds’ eleven-year tenure as part of the football coaching staff, the Eagles claimed three conference championships.  While head baseball coach, he led the Northwestern Nine to the conference championships in 1987.  The team finished with an overall record of 22-6.

The impact of Chub is felt far beyond the gridiron or the baseball field.  The “Never-Say-Die” award presented annually by the football coaches is given in honor of Chub.  “Reynolds Field” is named after our beloved coach.

Grit, determination and a never-give-up attitude were the benchmarks of a man who shaped the lives of hundreds.  He hated to lose and loved to win.  However, more importantly is that he cared about young men.  His behavior, intensity for the game, and demeanor was directed toward building boys into men.  He demonstrated confidence in his athletes that brought lasting results in their lives.  Christ was the focal point of Chub’s life, and he relayed that to his athletes on and off the field.
