Career

He attended Chatham High School in New Jersey.[1] He then played baseball, soccer, and tennis for the Temple Owls.

In 1972, he was the head men's soccer coach at Southeastern Massachusetts, where his team had a record of 12-4-3. He was the head coach for the Columbia Lions from 1973-1978. His Columbia teams went 4-32-4 from 1973-1975, but in 1978 he led Columbia to an Ivy League Championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance.

During his time at Duke he led the team to five NCAA College Cups in 1982, 1986, 1992, 1995, and 2004. His team's 1986 national championship was Duke's first in any sport.

Rennie finished his career with 454 wins and is one of only eight coaches all-time to get 400 wins with a Division I program.

He was inducted into the North Carolina Soccer Hall of Fame in 2011[2] and the Duke Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013.[3]
