 Let's just get into the video, man So YouTube team keep it clean what's going on is engraving here with another video and in this video Ed Reid Ed Reid somebody who absolutely spoiled us Ravens fans at the safety position Because we still been looking for a free safety to replace a read ever since and it just has not been working out somebody who I Considered the best free safety to ever do it The best free safety of all time Because what he did which spoiled us Ravens fans. He just changed the position He was somebody that just always had to be accounted for but we're not talking about his play right now Ed Reid is somebody who has been very vocal about wanting to be a coach And he's it's been that way for a long time He definitely has a deep knowledge and understanding of the game as we can tell From his play style and everything that he was able to accomplish Ed Reid is somebody who wants to be a leader of men And with Ed Reid he does have a little bit of experience with that because he coached the DB's for the Buffalo Bills When Rex Ryan was a head coach and he also has been doing some coaching with the University of Miami But he hasn't been that guy as a coach yet He hasn't been a head coach obviously and hasn't even been a defensive coordinator. So On January 24th while the conference championship games were on Ed Reid has something to say and he said dear NFL and college I am a coach, you know Okay, carry on So a lot of people were thinking okay. Well, what does that mean? He said that he's a coach Yeah, well Ed Reid he's probably a positional coach. He could go be a DB coach or something like that Yeah, I mean that's cool. Somebody gonna give him a shot one day on thing again But then he followed that up because he knew that there would be some confusion So he said head coach or defensive coordinator. Let me be clear So every put it out there that he's looking to be the guy as a coach not a guy And that's no offense to guys who are position coaches at all but every wants to be the head Hancho and a lot of people had their feelings about why he should or why he should not be that but We we want to hear from Ed Reid. It's always best when you get to hear directly From the source instead of rumors here and rumors there because we've of course heard about the rumors that he could Possibly join the Patriots as a coach. We heard that a few years back. We heard rumors about Like would he ever join John Harbaugh with John Harbaugh ever put him on as a head? I'm not that is not as a head coach because we as a positional coach as a coordinate or whatever and My opinion with that probably not But you know what before we get into opinions and everything Let's hear what Ed Reid had to say shout out to the fellas at Baltimore beat down and they had air Read on their podcast and I'm gonna leave the link to the full podcast in the description And the link to their Twitter's as well so y'all can follow them and check them out And let's listen to what Ed Reid had to say About coaching and not only coaching but a possible coaching opportunity on the Baltimore Ravens big question You tweeted a little bit about wanting to coach in the NFL Have you had any conversations about joining the Ravens staff or coaching with them in any capacity? I've I've talked to coach Harbaugh You know briefly at times About things, you know But I'm not I'm not I'm not a position coach man. I mean I can coach position, but no, you know, it's not it's not a position that I want because You know for one, I'm working with guys who probably younger than me Haven't played the game, you know, and and just won't even hear my voice Putting me at a position coach, you know, my voice won't even be heard, you know So that's why I tweeted playing being a DC or head coach. I know I know what I'm I know what I'm capable of I know what I aspire for, you know, you got to know your work, you know Like I said, I've been I've been in the league around a lot of coaches, you know and and looking at some of these coaches get jobs who I've worked with, you know And and I mean even the hiring did you see the interview from the head coaching Philly, you know, yeah, I saw that one Like, you know, I mean, so there's just so many little things So a theory said he spoke to John Harbaugh briefly about things But he said that he's not a position Coach so what it sounded like it sounded like a read was saying that hey spoke to Harbaugh and he possibly may have been willing to have every come on as a position coach And most likely that probably would have been a DB coach But whether that's true or not a read was saying no, that's not what I want. That's not what I'm about That's not who I am and he also mentioned that he wanted his voice to be heard He said if he was a position coach then his voice wouldn't really be heard And then he would be coaching around guys who were younger than him And that's not always necessarily a bad thing Coaching around young guys that can help keep you young But the part that got me was that he would be coaching around guys that never played in the NFL And then he also talked about how his voice it wouldn't be heard If he was just a positional coach and you can understand that because a positional coach you got DB coaches You got linebacker coaches. You got defensive line coaches. You got all those positional coaches But then you got the actual defensive coordinator That's the head honcho of the defense just like with offense. You got why receive a coach You got passing game coordinators You got quarterbacks coach. You got running back. Oh, you got all that But the head honcho of the offense is the offensive Coordinator and then of course the head honcho of everything is the head coach So every didn't just want to be a guy He wanted to be the guy with all the experience that he has he wants to share it with all the knowledge that he has He wants to pass it on to other people and it just seems like it read just really wants to be in a position of leadership now Ed Reid was really never a name that I would ever think would be hired by the Baltimore Ravens and John Harbaugh I really don't and the reason I do not think that that would ever happen is because of who Ed Reid is I Just I could never see Harbaugh hiring Ed Reid even as a DB coach Because again, and especially not as a defensive coordinator and the reason I say that is because if Harbaugh started slipping at all even if Harbaugh wasn't slipping That there's such and this is why I never feel like Ray Lewis would be a linebacker coach or defensive coordinator with the Ravens It's just some names and like especially former players and iconic legendary Hall of Fame players like those guys I feel like it would just be too big of a risk For John Harbaugh to hire any of those guys because of their name alone and the respect That people have for them in the game of football because if John Harbaugh slipping or not as a head coach There would be such a large chance a big chance that The team could start shifting to those guys the team could really start to Be like oh John Harbaugh Ed Reid Ed Reid John Harbaugh especially if they may have a little quarrel or something like that because we all know about the whole thing from before and It would just be too risky For Harbaugh because he as a head coach you don't want to ever risk losing your team to somebody else you never want to risk that and I think that has led to a lot of people that we've seen over the course of John Harbaugh that's that's led to a lot of his hires and his choices for offensive coordinators Especially over over the years to where he's brought in people that aren't really dynamic guys that can help But guys that are in no position to overtake him And I can understand why he would hire these guys like that But at the same time you got to think like hey, what's best for this team? What's gonna make this team the strongest possible candidate to win a Super Bowl each and every year But anyway with Ed Reid, I just I wish it could happen All right, man And I know right now we got wink so they good at defensive coordinator But when that db coach that position opened up who I know so many Ravens has a thing at all read it read it read it read it read it read it read it read and It could have been a stepping stone for him to end up being a defensive coordinator If he coached you db because you know, that's how a lot of defensive coordinators That's how it happens for them They end up coaching a position for a little bit and then they end up getting promoted whether to be with that same team Or with another team, but Ed Reid said no, I don't been there done that already I want to be a head coach or defensive coordinator And I just I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be hard for him to do that not cuz he doesn't have the knowledge And not even cuz he doesn't have the experience But I would just I just find it a Not even crazy. I just find it. It's gonna be tough for him to be high like that right away I think he should be cuz you know like every like this guy This guy got it all up here. He got it. He got it He got it all up here because you know Ed Reid. He doesn't just know the safety position this guy knows football, man He knows football He's like this guy. He's the best safety ever. Y'all saw what he did Y'all saw what he did what he was able to do, man The way he was able to recall if you able to read quarterbacks like that, then you study quarterbacks like that You study them There's this guy has such a deep understanding for the game of football I would love to see him get a shot somewhere. Oh, I would love it, man But will it happen? No clue, man No clue But anyway, shout out to every man It's every there's always a good listen man and shout out to to Baltimore beat down Again, the links for all of that stuff is down below in the description And we appreciate them just dropping this gym of a podcast With us so shout out to them man.
