Last weekend, Reed announced Bethune-Cookman decided against ratifying his contract as negotiations broke down with his legal team.
“I cry for those kids, man. I hurt for them kids because it’s wrong. I have eight kids who committed the week before. These kids calling me, their parents calling me. What are we going to do? I can’t get these kids into school. I can’t have these kids uncommit and go somewhere else,” Reed said on Martin’s show. “You’re telling me I’m withdrawing? No, I’m not withdrawing. I still want to coach here and coach these kids.”
BCU announced Reed as head coach in December.
