Ed Reed won’t become head coach at Bethune-Cookman after contract falls through

DAYTONA BEACH — 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.
