  Pro Football Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed won't be the next football coach at Bethune-Cookman. The Ed Reed Foundation announced on social media Saturday that the university declined to ratify Reed's contract and "won't make good on the agreement we had in principle, which had provisions and resources best needed to support the student athletes." The decision comes less than a week after Reed ripped the school in a profanity-laced social media post that went viral. He accused Bethune-Cookman of having a dirty campus and failing to clean his office before he arrived. He threatened to leave then, saying he was having to "clear out trash" while not even being under contract.

Reed apologized the following day for "my lack of professionalism." "My language and tone were unacceptable as a father, coach and leader," he wrote in a social media post. "My passion for our culture, betterment and bringing our foundation up got the best of me and I fell victim while engaging with antagonists on social media as well." Now, Reed and the Wildcats are parting ways before they really even got started. "I was committed to coaching and cultivating a relationships with the University, Players, Community and the Fans," the statement said Saturday. "It's extremely disappointing this won't be happening." Reed's foundation affirmed its commitment to helping kids and "changing lives for the better, as we've done for 20 years." Reed played at Miami and spent the past three years in an administrative role with the Hurricanes, first as chief of staff under former coach Manny Diaz for two years and this past year as a senior advisor under coach Mario Cristobal. Reed had been picked to replace Terry Sims at Bethune-Cookman. - AP College Football

  A University of Miami legend is leaving the U as its "Chief of Staff" to join Bethune-Cookman as its new football coach. "Bethune-Cookman University has entered an agreement in principle with Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed to be its 16th head football coach," Bethune-Cookman Athletics posted on Twitter Tuesday night. "We are excited to hear that Ed Reed has been named the head football coach at Bethune-Cookman," UM athletic director Dan Radakovich told the Miami Herald in a text message.

"Ed is one of the best to ever wear a Miami Hurricanes uniform and he has served as a great mentor to our student-athletes the past three years. "He will do a tremendous job leading the Wildcats program and the entire Miami family wishes him all the best." Reed replaces former Bethune-Cookman coach Terry Sims, who was fired in November. Bethune-Cookman, 2-9 in 2022, plays in the Southwest Athletic Conference of the FCS, the same conference as Jackson State, where Deion Sanders just resigned to take the head job at Colorado. So another, ah, prime example of a HOF player entering college coaching at an HBCU team. Do we see a trend here? Question is, how long will Reed stay with the HBCU team? - Bethune-Cookman Football/Remarks by NFL Draft Scout
