Thomas Thornton Reilley (March 20, 1883 â January 27, 1940) was an American college football coach and politician. He served the 12th head football coach at New York University (NYU). He held that position for two seasons, 1914 and 1915, leading the NYU Violets to a record of 9âÂÂ7âÂÂ2. Having come off a scoreless, losing season in 1913 under Jake High, NYU's record under Reilley in 1914 of 5âÂÂ3âÂÂ1 showed a marked improvement. However, Reilleys' tenure at NYU ended in 1915 with a 70âÂÂ0 loss to Rutgers.
Reilley was a Democratic member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 21st D.) in 1916.
