William Ayres Reynolds (December 30, 1874 – August 10, 1928)[1] was an American football player and coach of football and baseball. He played football at Princeton University and served as the head football coach at Rutgers University (1895), Sewanee: The University of the South (1895)[2][3], the University of Cincinnati (1896), the University of North Carolina (1897–1900), and the University of Georgia (1901–1902), compiling a career record of 38–21–9. Reynolds was also the head baseball coach at North Carolina (1898–1899) and Georgia (1902–1903), tallying a career mark of 24–14–2.
At North Carolina, as a football coach, he coached the Tar Heels to an undefeated season in 1898 (9–0) and had an overall record of 27–7–4 during his four seasons. As a baseball coach, Reynolds compiled a 21–5–1 record in two seasons at North Carolina.
Reynolds did not enjoy the same level of success at Georgia in either sport. As the Georgia football head coach, he compiled a record of just 5–7–3 during his two-year stay. As a baseball coach, Reynolds fared better, posting a 13–9–1 record over two seasons.
Reynolds left Georgia in 1903 to pursue a business opportunity in Canada.[4] He was later the vice president of the Southern Cotton Oil Co. He died on August 10, 1928, at his home in Charlotte, North Carolina.[5]
