Grand Valley State head football coach Scott Wooster announced the addition of Jeff Reardon to the staff as the General Manager. Reardon was most recently the head coach at Detroit Community Christian College, a position he held since starting the program in 2023. 

Reardon built the program in all facets from the beginning, showing continued growth each season. The Lions finished 6-6 in 2025 and played an extremely challenging schedule. The program recorded records both offensively and defensively in all areas.

"As college football has evolved the past couple years, we made the decision to add the role of General Manager to our football staff," said Wooster.  "As we went on the search for this position, Coach Reardon's diverse experiences as a head coach of both a Junior College program as well as a high school, an Offensive Coordinator, and has coached on both sides of the ball made him the perfect fit.  He is one of the best football coaches I've been around, a tremendous talent evaluator, tireless recruiter, and has a great feel for game management. Coach Reardon has an incredible work capacity, fundraising experience, has led mega-camps, been creative with securing resources. He will add incredible value to GVSU football, and our student-athletes and I am extremely excited to get back to work with him," added Wooster.

Prior to taking over at Detroit Community Christian, Reardon spent 10 years on the staff at Wayne State University. He began his time at Wayne State coaching the tight ends and then moved to coaching the quarterbacks. He also served as the passing game coordinator for the six years and was named the offensive coordinator in the spring of 2021.

In 2021, WSU ranked among the league leaders in virtually every offensive category, including  second in the GLIAC in both third-down conversion percentage (40%) and yards per completion (13.1), third in rushing yards per game (181.5), yards per carry (4.8), total offense per game (359.5) and first downs per game (18.5), and fourth in scoring (24.1 points per game), passing yards per game (178.1), touchdown passes (15) and red zone touchdown percentage (57%).

Reardon was a key contributor that helped the Warriors to a 7-1 GLIAC record in 2019, leading the conference (league games only) in both red zone offense (83% - 19-of-23) and time of possession (31:42), while ranking second in scoring offense (29.6 points per game), passing touchdowns (13) and third-down conversion percentage (41% - 43-of-105).  Wayne State was 24th nationally in fewest interceptions thrown (7) and 28th in yards per completion (14.61).

Jeff and his wife, Lauren, are the proud parents of daughters Sadie and Sydnie.
