On Ed Reed

[Cane_Mutiny]

Legendary player.

Seems like a diva weirdo post-retirement.

Saddens me to say, but I think you're kinda right

That's a little harsh bro. Dude is just figuring things out. Has made some poor choices. He'll be aight.

 

[GOCanes4420]

I can tell you when he was here he was most definitely giving feedback and advice to players. This was a part time gig.

Ed Reed would be the best db coach in college football

Some of yall need to be beat with rubber hose

 

[Yoyo423]

Everybody knew the role he took was for PR purposes only. Ed allowed himself to be clowned so he could get paid for doing nothing.

If he hated it so much, why'd he stay for a second year?

He's not serious about coaching.

 

[dookie blaylock]

I thought Chief of Staffs weren't allowed to coach?

also, he got offered an HC gig (at a level where Deion started following his HS coaching career) and he said no so I call BS on wanting to be an HC.

they aren't. it's explicitly a non-coaching role. now, the whole thing about feedback i don't doubt for a second because manny is a thin-skinned *****.

He was a mascot here under Diaz. I hated it. Great player, but to just have him walking around doing nothing was just part of the comical show Diaz had going here. Reed should have known he was being used.

Bring in Butch to sit down and evaluate prospects.

 

[Hold My Beer]

I love Ed, he's my favorite player but he just isn't going to grind at this point as a coach.

And at this level (or the level UM is trying to reach), it's a 24/7 grind to get on top and stay on top.

Period

This thread is more about the estrogen-laced gas bag who paraded around our program pretending to be a coach and hindering progress, than ER. Good riddance, thank you Pedo-State!

On a separate note, I was browsing on YouTube for recruiting updates, and clicked on PSUtv‘s “Signing Day Live” interviewing Mandy. It was his usual bs. When it ended, the PSUtv guy referred to him as “Danny Miaz“ then quickly corrected himself. Imagine that…won’t be long before they start referring to him as such.

Who didn't know that???

Time is flying, a lot of these kids never even saw Reed play.

And yet he supposedly turned down a HC job.

Dude aiming a little higher than Grambling State. Nothing wrong with that.

Good luck with that.

ED REED AND MARIO CRISTOBAL CONNECTION IS STRONG

 

[grover]

Strange post. Ed is the GOAT and would absolutely add value if used correctly. He was grossly misused by two guys with inferiority complexes, James and Diaz. Hoping Mario brings him on in a legit role.

 

[Silver King]

Much written about "ED" very little known...

A quick note on the GOAT.

- Ed does want to be a HC. That is accurate.
- Ed was used as a Christmas tree ornament by Manny & Co. solely for recruiting purposes and he was never happy with that role.
- Ed was not allowed to coach in any way or even provide key feedback to players on performance by Manny.
- Ed felt marginalized by Manny and that arrangement was blessed by Blake James.
- It is likely that Ed won’t come back as of right now.

We should be thanking Ed and his love for the program while dealing with all of this political bullshat.

All this is as of yesterday morning. Will share updates as they roll in.

And yet he chose to stay when he could have left the situation.

Ed should never have accepted the role if that is true. By doing so he essentially enabled Manny and his failed regime. He got paid and good on him. But not sure what I am thanking him for.
