Interesting comments from Ed Reed (Re: Getting the U back to glory)

[HurricaneAce07]

Saw this on The Ringer's "Slow News Day" by Kevin Clark (a UM grad). He interviewed Ed Reed and asked an interesting question at the 7:10 mark.



Some of his "subtle" comments:

• "Understanding and patience"
• "People humbling themselves"
• "Players taking hold of this thing"
• "Take some people shutting up" - Kevin followed up on this one and Ed responded "it's for whoever it's for"
• "Taking some coaching and teaching"

Really interested to know who he's referring to on the humble + shut-up comments.

I am diehard FOR the U

Humble and shut up = everyone who flexes on a tackle.

Ed's facial expression when the host called the NCState win a 'big win' was classic.

"Who needs to shut up, is that outside critics or inside people?"

Nah it's just... whoever it's for.

lol, I like how he really wants to name names but then recognizes it's best to just leave it vague enough.

While I will always be appreciative of what Ed did for the U and i'm a massive fan, these general type comments are why some players that are great, can't be coaches. You literally get nothing out of it but words. Plus, I'd say if he was that committed to making Miami better he'd actually be around rather than taking a job where he is getting paid to be a cover for Manny from someone else taking the role, while getting paid for it.

Not cool to blame ER for manny’s inability to accept help or admit he’s wrong.

Any coach anywhere who gives a whit about message boards isnt worth the oxygen in their lungs

I can blame anyone who takes money to be a pawn and not show up to work, but thanks for the advice.

With all due respect to Mr. Reed who is one of my favorite all time Canes, he’s stating thoughts on players today and comparing to his era, 20 years ago plus. Times were different then than to today. Kids today are softer, much more entitled and carry little patience to wait their turn. Hence, hello transfer portal.

 

[Pentagon Cane]

That is just fortune cookie pablum. Isn't happening with this staff.

Nah. If you paid attention to what was going on, you’d know what he does, what he hasn’t done and why. But some dudes just can’t help but acti like a 12 year old girl with her first bout of PMS.

Doesn’t seem to be a problem at bama. UGA. And other programs where actions have consequences, excellence is demanded and toughness is required.

Our guys don’t lose PT for breaking curfew to sneak out and party. There’s no contact in practice. Dudes can get 15 yard penalties game after game while underperforming, and still the better players sit. Players want to hit the portal because they know what a soft, loser mentality looks like.

This isn’t a generational issue. 2001 wasn’t that long ago and not that much has changed. The is a cultural problem that’s been allowed to get worse every year.

He shows up plenty....One of the most intelligent former Canes I have ever known...Ed has too much couth to spout off what he really thinks about the state of the program, especially in his position now.
