Bethune-Cookman

Ed Reed Exposes Shannon Sharpe DMs On Instagram

by

Over the past week or so, Ed Reed has been trying to expose the conditions at Bethune-Cookman. Bethune-Cookman is an HBCU that had offered a head coaching job to Reed. The former Ravens legend was working overtime at the school, and he was showcasing just how bad the conditions were.

Subsequently, Reed was told he would not be the head coach in the end. With Reed making very public Instagram live sessions about the school, it became clear that the school didn’t want to continue its relationship.

This past week, Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless discussed this news on Undisputed. Overall, Sharpe was sad about the situation. However, he did note that he would have preferred if Reed hadn’t gone so public against the school.

Ed Reed Responds

In an Instagram post last night, Reed posted some DMs between he and Shannon Sharpe. As you can see, Sharpe reached out to Reed noting that he supports him. Additionally, he apologized for his comments on Undisputed. Reed did not accept the apology and said “you said a lot of wrong about me playa.” Consequently, Sharpe was a bit annoyed and finished things off by saying “Ed, I voiced an opinion. It’s not that deep. Wish you all the best, but I’m done with this.”

Since that time, Reed has continued to post on social media, much to the chagrin of his fans. For the most part, people believe he is simply doing too much. The public callouts aren’t getting anyone anywhere, and some want him to get off social media for a bit. However, it seems as though Reed is going to continue speaking out on the funding that HBCUs receive.

This is an ongoing story, and we’re sure we will hear more from Reed soon. That said, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Ed Reed Apologizes After Ranting About His Own School

by

Ed Reed was recently hired as the new head coach of the Bethune-Cookman football team. Bethune-Cookman is an HBCU that has been in need of a revamped football program. After having a horrible record last year, Reed has been brought in to inject some energy.

However, it seems like Reed is already upset with some of the resources he has been dealt. While speaking on a Livestream, Reed made some disparaging remarks about HBCUs and the issues they face.

“I see it all too clearly. All of our HBCUs need help,” he said. “And they need help because of the people who’s running it. Broken mentalities out here. I’m going to leave you with that. I gotta get in the office.” Reed also claimed that he was doing work that wasn’t part of his job description. Subsequently, this led to him threatening to leave.

Ed Reed Speaks

Consequently, Reed was criticized by many for his comments. Videos of his rant went viral, and there were some who felt like he shouldn’t be the team’s coach. Overall, Reed understood the weight of his comments, and he apologized for them on social media.

“In regards to my social media and comments about the University, staff and other institutions, I would like to sincerely apologize to all BCU staff, students and alumni for my lack of professionalism,” Reed said. “My language and tone were unacceptable as a father, coach and leader. 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. I am fully aware of the hard working folks at our school who are also fighting to make things better and more financially sound. I am encouraged from my communication with my AD and our administration and understand it’s a work in progress. My passion is about getting and doing better and that goes for me too.”

Reed is not the first person to criticize HBCUs. Of course, Deion Sanders has done that as well over the past few months. Regardless, it seems as though Reed will remain as the team’s head coach until further notice.
