Firings watch.

Saturday, January 21st, 2023

Former NFL player Ed Reed out as football coach of Bethune-Cookman University.

The question is, does this count as a firing?

He was “hired” less than a month ago, but stated yesterday:

“Bethune-Cookman University has been working with my legal team to craft contract terms with the language and resources we knew were needed to build a successful football program,” Reed wrote on Twitter. “It’s my desire to not only coach football, but to be an agent of change that most people just talk about being. 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.”

Mr. Reed also went on a rant a few days ago “about the conditions at Bethune-Cookman”.
