no one is saying its a negative move; it was the hype that was built around such a hire that had ppl throwing their 2cents in what exactly the job would entail. Now that we're hearing from Ed and getting a more understanding of the role, it wasn't as advertised. I myself would love to see Ed as our safeties coach; hands-on, grinding, counseling, mentoring, crootin, and orchestrating a frightful backend. Banda to Linebacker coach, Patke out and we're on our way on that side unless Ray, Vilma, or DJ want inWe created this position. No other programs have a Chief of Staff. While it appears there was talk of a true one with powers above those already in place back when Highsmith was in the conversation (though I personally don't think there was ever a point in time where that had any realistic chance of happening; was simply the idea of some understandably frustrated BOT members, IMO), there was never a point in time where Ed was brought in to be that.
His role is what it is. And it's downright bizarre to me how there could be this much negativity in this thread about it. I've yet to think of A SINGLE way where bringing Ed Reed on as COS for Miami is a bad thing for this team right now.
Well said.no one is saying its a negative move; it was the hype that was built around such a hire that had ppl throwing their 2cents in what exactly the job would entail.

I would say like most jobs 40+ hours a week.
What a stupid ****** question.
Are other schools COS working PT?
Or if she's a big girl, put her on the O line.What is her 40 time? we need speed.
You’ve never had a boss who’s not grinding as hard as you try and come tell you something?Exactly. WTF is "dangerous" about it?!? This place is so weird.
Ed is not about minutiae, everyday nonsense.I don't want Ed Reed to track how many bench presses all the DBs do. I don't want ED Reed to pop into class and see if players are there. I don't want Ed Reed to write out the defensive play sheet for any game. I want Ed Reed to tell recruits and young players that to succeed they have to commit to excellence, that they have to work harder than the guy on FSU's and Clemson's campus. That they have have to work twice as hard as the guy above and below them on the depth chart. I want him to teach them to take pride in their improvement and to understand that a party is one night but game tape is for life. I want Ed F'n Reed to be the same guy he has always been, a world class leader and winner.
some will always see the glass half empty as oppose to half full.Psst. Little secret for you... there are no other Cheifs of Staff in CFB. What we are doing with Ed is unique. And it's already shown benefits.
This is one of the worst swings and misses I've ever seen. If I worked for a company selling vacuums and my loser boss didn't do squat while I grinded my *** off, yeah, I wouldn't like it. (Though, side note, I'd accept it and try and improve my lot in life, as that's just the way our world works). But we aren't talking about a loser vacuum salesman boss. We're talking about quite possibly the greatest player to ever play the position, who is in the hall of fame at every level he played football. If any kid received Ed Reed poorly because he wasn't on campus as much as them, to be honest with you, I'd want them off the team immediately.You’ve never had a boss who’s not grinding as hard as you try and come tell you something?
How did you take what they were saying?

Fair enough. Like was mentioned above, I think a lot of the angst was fueled simply by the fact people had in their minds a role for Ed which was never the role he and the school discussed.I work with kids and just because you respect a person doesn’t mean they will. I hope it all works out. Just from that presser yesterday left me with more questions than actual answers
Banner time?
I guess my question was above your IQ level.
The question was more of a quality than quantity issue. To think that because he is not there 24/7/365 he is not fully committed really shows what a mouthbreathing Wal-Mart greeter you are.
Banner time?
I would hate to waste Ed Reed dna on a olineman.Or if she's a big girl, put her on the O line.
Like he's not making more as we speak. I dream of a team full of Ed Reed descendants.I would hate to waste Ed Reed dna on a olineman.
