ESPN - Hall of Famer Ed Reed to be head coach at Bethune-Cookman
Reed, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2019, becomes the latest high-profile former athlete to coach in the HBCU ranks.
Deion Sanders was at Jackson State from 2020 until he took the head job at Colorado earlier this month. Eddie George has been the head coach at Tennessee State since 2021.
A historically Black university located in Daytona Beach, Florida, Bethune-Cookman is an FCS program. It won six MEAC championships since 2000 but has struggled since joining the SWAC in 2021.
Its previous coach, Terry Sims, was fired in late November after going 2-9 in back-to-back seasons. The Wildcats' athletic director is Reggie Theus, the longtime NBA player and former Sacramento Kings coach. Theus is also Bethune-Cookman's head men's basketball coach.
