With the hiring of head coach Mike Jacobs, University of Toledo football offered another homecoming with new offensive coordinator Cris Reisert.
The Cincinnati native returns to the Buckeye State after a two-year stint as head coach at Gardner-Webb, where he went 7-5 in 2025 — the school’s best record in 22 years.
Reisert has 11 years of coaching experience in Ohio, serving as head coach at Tiffin University and his alma mater Ohio Dominican University. He had a 40-11 record with Tiffin and set a school record in scoring offense (43.7 points per game) in 2023.
With Ohio Dominican, Reisert not only led the offense to average 38 points and 455 yards per game in seven seasons, but also starred at quarterback.
