Playing career

Farley was an All-America defensive back for Boston University, where he was captain of the football and track and field teams and graduated in 1968. He spent two years playing for the San Diego Chargers of the American Football League before moving on to coaching.

Coaching career

Farley has coached at Williams College since 1972. From 1972 to 1987, he was head coach of the track and field team. In 1987, he gave up these duties to become head coach of the football team, a post he held for 17 years before moving back to coaching track and field full time. During that span, he recorded a career record of 114–19–3 (.849) that ranks as the sixth best in college football history. His teams regularly dominated the NESCAC and recorded five perfect seasons, including a 23-game winning streak that until 2005 was the longest in Division III history.

Farley is currently an assistant coach for the men's and women's track and field teams at Williams.
