"Do not allow my confidence to offend your insecurity." Deion Sanders

@Copasyetic Год назад

Deon was like Glenda the good witch in the Wizard of Oz. He helped the players realize that they had the ability all along to be winners just like Glenda told Dorothy " You had it all along." I'm a die hard JSU fan but I recognize that Deon didn't have to do what he did for us. I'm very sad that he is leaving but even more sad at all the negativity he is getting. He doesn't deserve that AT ALL! I will always be greatfull to him AND support him. Black folks....stop the crab in a bucket mentality. PLEASE! WE MUST do better.

@MrWhateverthefukever Год назад

Nobody cares about another black man getting the bag. We love seeing images of ourselves driving foreign cars, popping bottles, and throwing bags of money at the strip clubs. Even if you have to sell drugs to pregnant mothers, and destroy your community in the process. We give the successful black man with the money a pass. but Deion presented his time at JSU as something different. he made it seem as if he cared, and that he would level the playing field.

@Cozsmik Год назад

During his interview on 60 Minutes the interviewer asks what happens if a Power 5 school calls. Coach Prime answered, "I’m gonna have to entertain the offer and I would be a fool not to". He was honest and out front with his answer. Good decision Coach and nice job putting the HBCU institutions in the spot light.

@TChalla007 Год назад

Deion Brought 30 million to the school. Fixed the field, Locker rooms. ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Game Day, 60 minutes, CBS, Good morning, America. 2 winning seasons, undefeated. 2 championships. Got his kids exposure. Had Pro scouts at practice. Houston is in the pros, Miller is Next. Put the SWAC on the Map. What did JSU, the state do in return except benefit from the success. They sat back and went along for the ride. he left JSU in a much better place. Let's see if the next coach can keep it going.

@kayjay5143 Год назад

He brought $30M to the city (hotels, dining, etc), not to the school. He did do a lot for JSU. I’m just correcting the $30M comment.

I missed the live. But, I’m watching it now. He did so much for JSU and HBCU’s as a whole. I am a JSU alum and appreciate all that he has done and wish him well. While I wish he would have stayed long enough for us to get a stadium of our own, I understand that business is business. He has a heart for players and he will continue to do him in a new location. The exposure he gave to HBCUs as a whole cannot be quantified. Blessings to him!!!

@brdly31 Год назад

I want to APOLOGIZE to coach prime. Initially I was upset and confused about prime leaving JSU but after really listening the past few days I realized that I was as wrong as wrong can be, not only did he honor his commitment but he left the program in very capable hands. Thank you Ricky for helping to understand the true importance of what coach primes commitment and inspiration has meant to US and HBCU’s .

@xoacatl Год назад

Truth! A lot of us were emotionally involved and really enjoyed the energy and attention that benefitted ALL HBCUs! It's so addicting it ain't even funny! Most of us knew what we already had but we weren't getting the funding we needed to compete on a level playing field in athletics. But we still prosper and with Coach Prime bringing in resources to JSU we seen in real time how it can uplift the students, school, city of Jackson &:the state of Mississippi!

You're definitely telling the truth my brother. The ungratefulness is absolutely amazing from "our people".

If more could have the decency and appreciation to speak with the same graciousness for Brother Dion.....it would be awesome. Thank you and yours for all you have done for others as well. Blessings.

@MrWhateverthefukever Год назад

fake news. Holding someone accountable for what they say is not being ungrateful. He framed his time at JSU as being a calling from God to level the playing field. If I was a minister at your church, that introduced you to your wife, and helped you start a family business. at the point that I start sleeping with your wife, steal your employees, and foreclose on your house. those selfish actions kinda undue all the good will that i may have built up in the beginning. and you then saying that you are disappointed would not be seen as being ungrateful.

@jams4041 Год назад

At first I was disappointed in Coach Prime.I thought about it and I was wrong. Now, I look at this as a brilliant Chess move on his part. 1. He has shown Top Recruits that it is possible to shine and be noticed at a HBCU. 2. He has mentored Black Coaches on the SWAC level and shown them how to win and get it done. 3. He's leaving has made room for his mentees to shine without him and to have phenomenal growth. 4. He branded himself as a winning coach and will open doors at the next level for more Black Head Coaches. Great move Guru Prime.

@jheht2000 Год назад

What boils my skins is that you intolerable asses sit up here and make it seem like we owe Deion our lives for what he has done. Deion brought exposure because he is a walking piece of marketing. He could sneeze and ESPN is right there to cover it like it’s 5 o’clock news. Our alumni base does give back but keep in mind we are not financially wealthy as the PWIs y’all love to fangirl over. So our giving is only enough to cover some of the disparities due to lack of state funding. Now the catalyst for change to our institutions are gone. What do you suppose we do..more money yea but it does solve all the issues our movement is facing. We are the only race that will gladly build up or renovate someone else house than our own. Can you imagine a HBCU D1AA mega conference that includes talented players, star studded coaches, and facilities out of this world. No you can’t because you only see it for them and not for us. No one is mad at Deion for getting a new opportunity, but he left before we had a system in place to thrive off the blueprint. Two years is not enough for a program nor an entire conference to move forward without that system. Food for thought‼️

@CYN2MINT Год назад

Although this issue is centralized on an HBCU (Black culture). I must bring attention to this issue being bigger than just Black people. This is a sports sociocultural dynamic. There's a strange premise that people can dictate how athletes should live their lives - make decisions, fashions, relationships, etc. When it comes to athletes (celebrity status) suddenly they are not allotted decent respect as an adult and an “author of their book of life.” The masses somehow believe that they are their controlled subjects. It's outrageous and getting alarmingly out of control. Specifically, because there's nothing less controllable and more reckless than group-think mentalities.

I really use to wonder why other races really didn't want to be around us Black People. This year I found out from 2 Immigrants that are now Americand!!!! They told ME THAT WHEN THEY ARE SWORN IN. THE PEOPLE THERE TELLS THEM NOT TO SOCIALIZE WITH BLACKS BECAUSE THEY KILL PEOPLE DO DRUGS AND RAPE AND THEY ARE DRUNKS!!!! SO WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT! !!! BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT ANY OF THAT!!!!! THE OTHER RACES BETTER WAKE UP!!!! BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE ONES THAT BUILT THIS COUNTRY!!!!!! VERY TRUE. AND WHEN PRESIDENT LINCOLN FREED THE SLAVES THEY WERE SO UPSET ABOUT THAT THEY KILLED HIM IN COLD BLOOD AND THEN THEY DECIDED TO BUILD PRISONS SO THEY CAN CONTINUE LIEING AND KILLING BLACK AMERICANS!!!!! THE PRISON SYSTEM WAS BUILT ON SYSTEMATIC RACISM!!!!! THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE ALSO. THERE 'S TOOOOOO MANY WHITE WASHED PEOPLE!!!!!!.BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE WAKE UP. NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO DO TOO MUCH FOR BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF BEING KILLED!! THAT ITSELF SPEAKS VOLUMES!!!

@CitizenKane1601 Год назад

It’s sad that he left, but let’s not act like his time at JSU has been sunshine and rainbows. Deion donated HALF his salary to renovating the football facilities for the players. He brought in the one of best coaching staffs JSU has ever seen. His coaching staff was grossly underpaid and he tried asking the school and community for help to keep his staff. JSU been having issues providing quality meals to keep his players in peak condition and the school and community still wouldn’t step up. When Jackson went thru the water crisis he moved his players into a hotel so they could have water, and can take showers. We love being buddy buddy when it’s time to party and don’t have to put any skin in the game. But when asked to contribute it’s “I sho wish I could but I ain’t able right now”

Or he'll pay it no problem. I'm sure 300k isn't a big deal for him.

@beachlife8367 Год назад

Thank YOU Coach Prime! I'm an older "fan". I never went to an HBCU. I didn't really care for college football, let alone HBCU college football. I didn't even care when they announced Deion was going to JSU. I didn't watch season one of his time there. But last year, I kept hearing more and more about Jackson State. And I was like, OK, let me just look into what is going on. And from then on, I have been rooting for JSU. Deion did more than just help that one program: He got NATIONAL attention on HBCUs. I wish someone could do an analysis on how many times HBCU has been Googled or mentioned in the media over the last three years. Although I didn't go to an HBCU, it made me proud just to be Black, to see OUR people in the stands, to see OUR players in the interviews, to see OUR people getting high praise. And all the teams JSU played against, they also got attention. Their fan base got reinvigorated, their ticket sales went up, their hotel rooms got more business, their restaurants served more food, their media took center stage. This helped OUR PEOPLE. I agree 100% with what Rickey is saying. We've got to stop this foolishness. Deion was NOT JSU. JSU is JSU. They have the same opportunities as before. They've still got a connection with Deion Sanders. And the other HBCUs now can see that it IS possible to forge relationships with companies like Walmart, and Pepsi and Nike, et al. Those doors have been blown open for US. It's because of GOD sending Deion Sanders....Coach Prime...to JSU and leaving this mark. He could have come in, did one year, and said, "I don't need this. We don't even have clean drinking water! I'm out!" No, he went on NATIONAL TV and talked about the challenges in Jackson and he implored LEADERS to step up to the plate. He did it for OUR PEOPLE. Rickey was right when he said that they need to enshrine Coach Prime into the JSU Football Hall of Fame.

Foolish! After I broke it all down to her, basically saying exactly what you just said- there was nothing but silence. I asked her did JSU counter offer ??? Of course not. I said people, things and events come into our lives for a reason and a season. No one should be upset with this man-(coach)- for making the best decision for him and his family. Anyone else would have done the same. Her final words were- "Well, I don't want to talk about it anymore"...

@jarriusjames3563 Год назад

It ain't no crab in a barrel. Nobody cares that he's leaving, what people are mad about is that he said God brought him to level the playing field. That's what he said. He said God brought him there to be a father to the fatherless. That's what he said. As a result, when you use TD Jakes verbiage and philosophies people became attached to the rhetoric. Coach Prime was the one who created a emotional attachment and then created emotional trauma. He was the one who told kids to come to Jackson State and forgo pwi institutions. Nevertheless, he jumped at the first offer he got.

Coach Prime did his time, got new equipment, lovker room and more; PLUS- he spent his own money investing at JSU. He did things that JSU had money to do with, long before he got there- but they didn't. He stayed 3 years!!! Never said that he would retire there! 99% percent of people would go forward to a better offer and opportunity. It's foolish to even attempt to hold Coach Prime in any type of contempt for putting his family FIRST, while blessing JSU with his talents and presence. This is just another example why so many can't get ahead and are unhappy- because folks are quick to judge others; instead of judging themselves.

In the words of Katt Williams you have to look out for your “star player”.

I grew up about 45 mins away from Jackson in a whiter area and just 45 mins away from Jackson in a place called Madison you could see the difference. The only issue I have is as a collective black community we WILL NEVER get anywhere if we don’t start thinking GENERATIONALLY! I’m not saying it’s Deion’s job to think generationally but all of us have to do our parts or just say we living for ourselves and not the future of us. I’m overseas and I DONT want to be the black American representative but unfortunately by default I AM! I’m the only BLACK AMERICAN where I work in the Middle East and will probably be the only BLACK AMERICAN that some AFRICANS, Arabic-speaking individuals, Muslims, Australians so forth may ever meet. WE THINK TOO SMALL! It’s bigger then one or two of us! I’m thankful but sad for the young black men who looked to him as a father because they don’t have one but don’t understand why he has to leave. Children don’t understand this at a young age. I just hope the young men he impacted don’t stop being great because he is leaving. Young Black men are very impressionable. We have seen what no fathers do to young black men.

He brought in over $185 million in value to the program and the community. 4. He donated most of his salary back to help the school and the program. So it wasn’t about the money! 5. He left a model and a blueprint for what can be done to build up HBCU athletic programs. After he’s gone, that should continue! 6. He delivered TWO SWAC chips, an undefeated season and did what he said he would do in THREE YEARS! What else do you want?! So like MOST coaches do, he’s moving on to a better situation for HIM and his staff, and leaving said situation 1000% better than he found it! He was supposed to stay there? Isn’t any coaches desire to elevate themselves and others? Might I add , he allowed Bethune-Cookman to used Jackson st's facilities when they were in town because they had nowhere to practice. What Coach on any level would do that for their rivals? But, yet again, we see someone’s desire to do better for themselves as a slight against us all…who taught us this? It's kind of like the Willie Lynch syndrome.

Remember life is about choices. Deion had a plan from the beginning. He changed the energy of the football program. He also changed the life of the young guys he coached. In order to change the outcome of your life you have to do things differently. I wish you nothing but success Deion. God put us in certain places for a reason.

Thanks Ricky, I am from Jackson Mississippi I hate to see him leave I truly appreciate what he brought to the table for jsu and I wish him the best ❤

Rickey is on point. It's just like working in a corporate world. Person will leave one company to go to another company to work as a better job, it no difference in what Coach Prime did.

Are people really acting like if they got a significant pay raise, (29 million)they wouldn't take it? This man made the best decision for his family! Every fatherless Black child isn't his to shoulder alone forever. He stated he'd entertain offers from the word go. We're the only group of people who can't ever be happy for others. Crabs in a barrel 24/7! Congratulations, Coach Prime! I was born in Colorado, and it's a beautiful state! I was raised in Louisiana and I put sugar on my grits too😂

@sbjr5504 Год назад

This exactly, my man got a 67 percent pay raise. If people are saying they wouldn't take that in their current profession, they are a damn lie

you are very nice person. thank you for trying to help people. you are blessed. thank you sir

@Alematpat0785 Год назад

You are absolutely correct in EVERYTHING you've said. I appreciate and follow him and I didn't attend JSU. I will continue to follow him and his family on social media. I love what he does for his family and the young men of Thee Jackson State University football team (among others). To be frank they should've damn near had an effing parade for him.

@demibutler225 Год назад

Congratulations Coach Prime and JSU! It’s been an am❤zing journey to see all that he has done at JSU. Prime is a business man, a great coach, leader, father the man wears a-lot of hats. His time at JSU was only for a season and he understood the assignment and job well done 👏👏👏👏

@CitizenKane1601 Год назад

All them HBCU coaches capping acting like they wouldn’t jump at the same opportunity Deion took. Only reason they saying they’re “HBCU forever” is because their phone ain’t ringing.

@wayneridgle2550 Год назад

That's it in a nutshell!!!! Nobody, I mean n-o-b-o-d-y, is calling their asses; if they were in the same position, they would have left without giving an explanation. Folks need to get out of their damn feelings and if you're not happy for him, at least pray for his success!!!!

Rickey Smiley you put out too many for me to count valuable priceless Jewel moments!!! One that comes to mind even dealing with Family is...Business is Business! Thank you for being 💯. It's tough and takes courage to say what you said. Our people are and can be our own worst Enemies. Coach Prime acts inspired or should have inspired us all that's there another Level to do a lil better...Be more proud in our walk. What you spoke...It's the basic life lesson of all that people, our people just keep missing...Just be thankful, be humble, and just be honest and those alone WILL open up the doors for GOD to shine! So why do we always find it easier to dim our own lights OR folks like CoachPrime. This video you did will be my forever "Go To" because sometimes krazy with our people just don't stop...And that's sad. Because we already gon know...The outcome and that outcome is NEVER going to be good for our young people OR our people as a WHOLE. Please don't get tired, keep speaking the TRUTH Mr. Smiley even when it gets tougher! It's needed!!

Ricky all I can say is you spoke the TRUTH!! OMG, it’s so hard for us as African Americans to uplift one another but we can easily tear down one another in a heart beat. Thank you for those words I enjoyed that.
