Ed Reed, the NFL Hall of Famer who last month agreed to coach Bethune-Cookman’s football team, parted ways with the school after it chose not to ratify his contract, according to Reed.
In a statement through his charitable foundation, Reed said his legal team had been working to finalize his contract with the school, “however, after weeks of negotiations I’ve been informed that the University won’t be ratifying my 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.”Saturday, Reed shared a video of his speech to the team. He reiterated that the decision was not his.
“I am NOT withdrawing my name as the Head Coach at Bethune Cookman,” he said in the post. “The administration and the AD are forcing me out. Thank you to all that supported me and my staff through this process. Good day and God bless.”
