Ed. Reed for secondary coach?

Im not understanding the hostility towards the idea...

Ed Reed said that he wanted to get into coaching. I do not care at what position as a GA or DB coach or water boy.... If Ed wants to be on staff you find a way to bring him around the team..

That does not make someone irrational for thinking he should be here... he said it himself. Now if he didnt mention wanting to coach then of course its idiotic.. but thats just not the case.

Can I get a show of hands of the guys who are minorities that thinks Ed Reed is not capable of being a very effective DB coach for the Canes? I just find it interesting that his intelligence as a player is constantly being question here or in some cases totally dismissed as to suggest he is not an intelligent person. The ignorance is at an all time high, but is it ignorance or is it hate/ing?

Any clown who thinks Ed Reed only played with good instincts should stop shut the **** up! It shows how ignorant some of you are!

Film study ladies and gentleman film study! Ed Reed studied film like no other at his position!

Anyone on here that is constantly questioning the football acumen or the intelligence of minority coaches and players wants to question that???

These are the clowns that comstantly try to dismiss or shoot down any mentions of minority players being quality coaches! I say make it an even playing field and see what happens! Go Canes!

Why does him mentioning he would like to coach mean that UM automatically has to hire him without any experience? If that's all it took, then our entire staff could be composed of guys who said they'd like to coach here.

I think Joaquin Gonzalez said he'd like to coach at UM too. Should we hire him too, or is the determining factor for hiring coaches with no experience skill displayed on the NFL gridiron?

Here comes Harriet!!! Who the fck ever said Ed wasn't intelligent? Find someone who said that or even suggested it, race baiter.
 
And youll morans want to keep Beard on staff or hire Mike Rumph who both read coaching football for dummies 101... but no.. ED REED could never be a coach..

I would love to one day have Ed Reed coach at the U. However, not that I think this is going to happen, but I do not think it would be wise to give Reed a position coach job until he starts at a smaller school and proves he can coach and recruit in this day and age.

I realize what he did for us as a player and how influential he was as a coach on the field but I think it would be a risk giving him or any other legendary alum a spot on the staff just because we think they would probably be a great coach. He is still pretty young in coaching terms, he has plenty of time if he wants to eventually get on the University of Miami staff.

I would love to have him involved in the program more, I am doubtful someone of Ed Reeds stature would take a GA position but I would try to find something for him like that, or get the ball rolling by encouraging him to coach at a local school like FIU with the assurance that if he does well he would be given a long look for a spot at Miami.

No UM doesnt have to automatically hire him..

I do not understand the hate towards the idea... Did Kareem Brown have the experience your speaking of to be all over our sidelines like he was the head corch last year??? Whats the requirements? Should he hit a couple 7v7 circuits? Maybe a couple seasons at Booker T?
 
I think most here get way too silly with the former-player stuff. The only reason I haven't waved this one off is because Reed actually said he would like to, didn't he?

If nothing else I'd love to see him "visit" practice and spend some time with the defense here and there...not sure if that's some sort of rules violation though.

Wasn't Kareem Brown a GA? If Ed Reed would take a GA position with the knowledge that he could work his way up through the coaching ranks I would personally love to have him at that spot.

My bad I just looked it up, Kareem Brown is now officially an Outside Linebackers Coach, but I am pretty sure he was a GA the year before. Same path I could see Ed Reed taking, I just don't know if someone of Reeds stature would want to start at GA. Though his name recognition alone will probably help him advance quickly if he does decide to start coaching.

I guess you're one of those clowns! Did I hit a nerve? Race baiter? Hardly clown! That's all you can say about my post! I bring intelligent thought and a high football acumen to the board! If you don't like the tone in which I post don't FCKN read my post's or comments! Your response expected because there's always one that appears! Ironically, it never takes long!

I'm new on this board, but I'm going to be bringing it! So I don't give a fck if you don't like what I have to say!
 
Not too many examples of guys going straight from the NFL to college coaching, Mike Vrabel went back to his alma mater Ohio St to coach their defensive line right after leaving the league, now he's coaching linebackers for the Texans. He was also known as a teacher and coach on the field like Ed, of course you'd have see how committed he would be to the long hours recruiting and the grind of college coaching like franchise mentioned

Feel me, ignorant MFers. As if the freshman Ed Reed, didn't look like a freshman...as if He walked in the buildin' ballin...as if He was getting letters from every big time program comin' outta HS. SMDH!, just dumb MFers...dumb, never played ball a day in their lives MFers.
 
He has no coaching experience. He's definitely one of the best to play the game but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a great teacher.

I think Kareem Brown being thrusted into full-time assistant was somewhat of an anomaly because of coaches bolting from a losing program
with a coach on the hot seat.
A guy like him normally gets some seasoning at a smaller program before bringing him onboard a program of UM's level.
Having said this, you can't compare Brown's situation with that of Reed because the former is trying to make a living out of coaching
whereas the latter probably doesn't have to work a day in his remaining life.
Coaching at a big-time college football program is a grind.
Worse than even the NFL.
I just read an article the other day where the DC at Louisville Todd Grantham said that he once started counting the hours
he was putting in during the season and he claimed it was at least 100 hours.
Does someone like Reed want to do this when he can work for the Ravens for the rest of his life doing puff PR stuff where
it won't interrupt family and other fun stuff?
He needs to find out.
I would prefer he tries it somewhere else before he comes to the UM unless, of course, he wants to be a grad asst.

i'm a minority. why does this opinion have to be limited to minorities? no one here is saying a **** thing about him not being an incredibly cerebral player. not a single person has said that he's not intelligent enough. no one is saying that he can't do it because he's black. the question is whether or not he's effective at teaching others how to do it the way he did. if shockey walked up and wanted to coach tight ends, he'd be met with more even more skepticism. and he's a white guy.

you're grasping at racist straws. shut the **** up.

I know of a coach who played for Jimmy Johnson, Butch Davis, Tommy Turbeville, Wannstedt and later coached for those guys plus Sonny Lubick and
Greg McMackin. He was also on an NFL roster for 2 years and coached at that level for 3 years.

How did he fare as our HC?
