nfl job to a college job?
Would be shocked if he works this yearKliff Kingsbury, Alabama OC.
Would be shocked if he works this year
Isn’t he still in Thailand?
I hope he can continue his progress this year
Why’d he limit it to 19 starts?
But Ed didn’t know that HBCUs were extremely underfunded going in? Going in trashing the administration and people working there before you’ve even started the job is wack. The idea that Ed Reed was “the only one putting in effort” is just nonsense and insulting to the many people who look like us who work there. WE know why HBCUs are in the state they are and we have to be cognizant of why they were founded in the first place. Ed should just go to a P5 and cut his teeth as an assistant if that’s what he wants to do. He just wants to use the gig as a springboard to catapult his coaching career — and if that’s the case, so be it but his behavior was extremely wack.Just now catching up on the Ed Reed situation with that janky school.
And people wanted Deion to hang around dealing with the same type of nonsense. It's hard to go to work when you the only one putting in effort.

They took those jobs to cut the line to be a head coach without going through the hurdles they would have to otherwise, aint have nothing to do with helping out the HBCU's, that was just happenstance
Do you think corruption only happens at HBCUs?You listen to what he was saying about corruption? You see that field? He just making that up?
C'mon man. We know HBCU's are underfunded. That's part of why Deion and Ed even took those jobs, to help. These schools ain't THAT underfunded to where you can barely have a field. The structure is trash at these schools flat out.
Do you think corruption only happens at HBCUs?When you don’t have a massive budget like PWI athletic departments, then the misappropriation of funds just stand out more. Corruption damn sure ain’t specific to HBCUs and it’s lazy as hell for him to even posit it as corruption being the reason why BCU is in the position it is. Especially from the dude who hasn’t even been there long enough to fully understand the lay Of the land there.
That’s literally not what I said. Trashing Bethune like there’s some unique corruption going on there is wack.What kinda argument is that?
Because corruption happens other places we gon sweep this under the rug? If that's your mindset it's really nothing else to talk about.

Good article by Bill Rhoden on the whole thing. Ed Reed handled this like a clown, and not like someone who wants to lead a program at a HBCU full of young Black men should. If his idea of leadership is public child like tirades trashing for employer and claiming that you’re a “change agent” before the ink even dries, then yea, probably not going to work out.

Ed Reed coaching saga serves as a hard lesson for Bethune-Cookman, other HBCUs
The Bethune-Cookman-Ed Reed marriage “in principle” has finally, painfully and embarrassingly been annulled. Reed, the Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Uni…andscape.com
So is the corruption wrong or not?
Is it a properly run school or not?
This is simple. Ed took less money to go there, he coulda stayed at Miami. You saying he don't wanna help?
Who said corruption isn’t wrong? My point is that Bethune is no more corrupt than any other institution nationwide.
It’s a school that isn’t in the big business of sports. Literally not the mission of what Mary McLeod Bethune Cookman was founded on. It’s not meant to be a Bama or LSU or Texas.
He wasn’t even on staff at Miami. He was a glorified mascot that Manny Diaz hires when his seat was hot. He may want to “help” but he didn’t behave how a leader of any company, organization, business line, etc. should. Especially in a public facing role where he has no equity in the company.
