Miami football adds Bethune-Cookman and Ed Reed to 2023 schedule
The Miami football team will play Bethune-Cookman and former Hurricanes legend and Wildcats’ head coach Ed Reed in September 2023 according to the Miami Herald. Miami defeated Bethune-Cookman 70-13 in the 2022 season opener with Reed serving as the Hurricanes’ Chief of Staff.
Miami completed their 2023 schedule with the addition of the Wildcats. Miami also has 2023 non-conference games versus Miami (Ohio) on September 2, Texas A&M on September 9 and at Temple on September 23. The ACC announced on Tuesday that they will release the 2023 conference schedule on January 30.
Reed was hired as head coach by Bethune-Cookman last month. Prior to being hired by Bethune-Cookman, the only coaching role for Reed was as the Buffalo Bills’ assistant defensive backs coach in 2016. Reed is the latest former NFL All-Pro player to be hired as a head coach at an HBCU head coach.
Former All-Pro running back Eddie George is the head coach at Tennessee State and Deion Sanders left Jackson State for Colorado following the 2022 season. Reed inherited a Bethune-Cookman program that is 4-18 the last two seasons and has not won a conference championship since 2015.
