All I know is, they’ve made a huge mess out of this one. Some of it could have been avoided. If Theus would have sat Reed down and explained to him the real deal, I think they would be in a better place. Transparency doesn’t happen until after the boo-boo is on the floor getting stepped in/on.

I'm relatively sure Reed knew the real deal when he walked in the door. He figured he'd use the "Deion" platform, but he doesn't have the same panache as Deion (and he was foul-mouthed, inarticulate at times, and his appearance bordered on vagabond). So it backfired.
Had he cut out the profanities I bet dollars to doughnuts he'd still be there. You can't represent the school Mary McLeod Bethune built like that.

Both sides have blame to share though. And when that happens you shouldn’t act as if you are without sin like the admins tried to portray. Yeah, you have the power to not hire Reed but, good luck in your search for a new coach. To coach there, you already know it’s gonna be a tough job to get them back to winning championships but, if it’s layered with other problems that at times may extend beyond your control, the line for that assignment had to have gotten a lot shorter.

nah, bcu won't have any problem finding a head coach. there's just too many football coaches out there who want to be a head coach, but too few available head coaching jobs to satisfy the demand. i don't think the incident with reed will scare bcu head coaching candidates away...

Better late than never. Hopefully we've seen the end of celebrity hires (for at least a while) by HBCUs. An actual body of work with some quantifiable success to show for it should count for something.
