Ed Reed wants to coach once he is done with football

[I'm Hurt Dawg]

He was also known for mentoring younger players, and General Manager Ozzie Newsome said previously that he could see a place in the organization for Reed in coaching or player development.

Ed Reed has talked on numerous occasions about having a desire to coach once his days as a player in the NFL are over.

So as the 35-year-old safety nears the end of his Hall of Fame career, could he see himself eventually working in the Ravens’ organization?

“I don’t know how that’s going to go. If a position opens up or something like that, of course,” Reed told Baltimore media on a conference call ahead of Sunday’s game with the New York Jets.

“I know football. You have a lot of people that work around football that never even played the game. If you can’t get give Ed a job, I don’t know what to tell you.”

I like Paul Williams but he can go if Edward Earl Reed, Jr. wants to coach. We could compete with Bama and FSU for any recruit we wanted with him.

And it'd be best to get Ed now while his name still rings among younger kids.

Needs to cut his teeth somewhere first just like Dorsey. Make sure they can coach before you put them on the staff.

sure would be nice if that was applied to members of this staff.

Our defense sucks. What did we give up the past 3 weeks? We've looked like **** the past 5 weeks. If Ed Reed wanted to coach this weekend I'd bring him in. D'onfrio has been "cutting his teeth" the past twenty years. You think he's smarter than ED?

Generally a good concept. But when you have a guy like Ed Reed, you take a chance. We are talking about a position coach here, not a DC. With all due respect and admiration to Ken Dorsey, he is not Ed Reed.

 

[cane305]

he's got UM slippers and orange and green running through his veins

therefore,

he will be defensive back coach at FSU.

Yep, no recruit is going to come because of Dorsey but they will because of Reed.

Reed can go coach high school for 5 years before he thinks about D1 level football coaching.

He doesn't need to come in as the DB coach right away. Just get him on the payroll and figure it out. Guy is a legend.

So we shouldnt fire our best and only serviceable positional coach on defense?

Graduate assistant? Not sure how those positions get filled. Definitely wouldn't hire him straight onto the coaching staff.

 

[CaniacMike21]

I'd hire him as a DB coach as Miami as soon as he retires. Assuming his heart was really into coaching. I'm fairly confident one of the best defenders of all time can teach college kids how to play DB pretty well.

I'm also pretty sure he'd be able to sell kids on playing for The U.

 

[Dwinstitles]

If he cant recruit what he wants his coaching will mean nada. Gotta bring in beasts.

 

[CaniacMike21]

I'd also add that we KNOW Ed is a very good communicator. Not all legendary players can communicate how/why they were so good. Ed can do that.

Could you point out all of the superstar players that jumped right into D-1 coaching at their alma mater and were successful? Thanks.

 

[I'm Hurt Dawg]

With Reed we would have kids like VHIII, Blanding, that 2015 5 star CB that is committed to LSU that is suppose to be the next Patrick Peterson. We also get other 5 star recruits but hey lets let the coaches develop those hidden gems that have worked out so well.

mike vrabel got on with ohio st coaching staff after he retired from the patriots i believe, i think he's still part of urban meyers staff coaching linebackers, so its not unheard of to make that jump for a well known player to his alma mater
