“Coach Smiley is an elite and respected coach in our profession. Mostly he is a better person and carries himself with the utmost integrity,” Reed said. “To have the opportunity to bring my family to the UNC program and continue the success of winning, culture, and developing young men is a dream come true.”
While at Chadron Reed coached four All-RMAC players and in 2018-19 led the Eagles to their best season in program history at 12-16, including winning 10 RMAC games for the first time in seven years.
