Bethune-Cookman University Athletics has entered an agreement in principle with Pro Football Hall of Famer Ed Reed to be its 16th head football coach.

Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, Bethune-Cookman is a Historically Black College with a football program that’s won a pair of national championships and 14 conference titles. However, Bethune-Cookman is coming off back-to-back 2-9 seasons since joining the Southwestern Athletic Conference in 2021.
Reed, one of the greatest Baltimore Ravens of all time, was an assistant defensive backs coach for the Buffalo Bills in 2016. In 2020, he returned to his alma mater in an advisory role as the Hurricanes’ chief of staff.
Reed replaces Terry Sims, who was let go in November. Sims concluded his Wildcats career with a 38-39 record overall, having had four winning seasons out of the seven he led the Wildcats program.
