They want reed to be retained. Reed even tweeted out “what now” as in, he wants to get job in new staff. Tbh it’s kinda annoying because when you have someone like that they are unfireable. Also if Mario doesnt keep him seems some will be mad at him.

Good lookin out. Like I said not trying to start **** was an honest question. Kids these days bounce for any reason. Usually make it known on social media. Preciate you answer the question. Someone disagreed with the post. How do you disagree with a question lol.
 
Going to be interesting to see what happens to those talented guys and projects that just disappeared under Manny. Do Bolden and Hall try to come back or transfer out given JW and KK? Their NFL prospects are negligible right now. How do Brooks, Cave and Huff respond? What Gil, Blades and Ivey?

Just give Reed a title that is more representative of his actual role, not some fake important title that is designed to impress fools
 
They obviously didn't hate manny enough to lay down in games. What matters to me is that they stay, that's all.

I think not being able to get rid of a guy like Reed is a legit concern. It's kind of off the topic of this thread, but my issues with Reed specifically are: it's totally not clear exactly what kind of role he wants with the team. Does he want to be a coach? An analyst? A guy who chills around the program and watches film with the kids? It's Ed Reed, so I have no doubt he has incredible amounts of wisdom and technical knowledge to impart to young guys. But is he really motivated to do so given that he has little, if any actual coaching experience? If you put someone like that in an on field position, and it works, then you're a genius. If it for some reason goes bad, how many enemies are you going to make - among the fans, the players, the player alumni, the BOT - if you feel like you have to let him go? I mean imagine being the guy who has to fire NCAA and NFL hall of famer Ed ******* Reed. Anyone who's not Bill Belichick or Nick Saban is gonna second guess and be second guessed on that decision for ever.

This isn't an issue necessarily confined to Reed either, though his credentials as a player and football mind are completely unassailable; I worry about it with any universally beloved UM player alum we think about bringing on.

As far as I'm concerned, if Ed Reed wants to sit on a recliner smoking cigars in the IPF all **** day reading Archie comics, I'm cool with that. He's Ed Fvckin' Reed. What's his official title? "Ed Fvckin' Reed".
