The Ed Reed era at Bethune-Cookman appears to be over before it started.
The Wildcats will not ratify a contract to hire the Hall of Fame defensive back as head coach, according to a Saturday morning announcement from Reed.
“After weeks of negotiations I’ve been informed that the university won’t be ratifying my contract and won’t make good on the agreement we had in principle,” Reed said in a statement. “I was committed to cultivating a relationship with the university, players, community and the fans. It’s extremely disappointing this won’t be happening.”
