@@coachsimmons It's only been 2 years 3 months. He was hired in September of 2020,. It has been 3 seasons, but not 3 years. The 7 game Spring season was the same year as the 11 game Fall season of 2021. season.
Quit crying people and congratulate the man for what he has done for the university. People move on for bigger and better things in life as you would do. They talked about him when he accepted the job at JSU, many were saying he wasn't going to do anything for the football team when he arrived at JSU. Look at it now! 👏👏👏👏
Now that comment I totally agree with. He's going to share the spotlight versus what he had all of it. My only question is how he'll get along with alumni if he's not going 11&0?
Boulder is a nice campus with lots of things to do if you like doing the types of things colorado offers. Im not sure that will sell real well with elite southern black kids, boulder is very very white
@@sharpe52312 white girls and marijuana is about it. Dont get me wrong i live like an hour from boulder i love colorado(not a huge fan of the people in boulder but the campus is nice). But their is no black culture or anything close to that in boulder. The only soul food is overpriced stuff white liberals call soul food. long story short the campus is a very certain type of white and thats not southern
@@420bengalfan Yeah that’s definitely true. It’s definitely a culture shock for southern players. I’ve never been to Boulder but it definitely looks like a small white town. Probably great for people that like to hike and camp.
Boulder is conservative. The University is not. Black athletes have always caught hell in Boulder. Boulder gets awfully cold. Not good for warm weather folks. LOL.
If he takes the job we can now see how much of a coach is he. If he can get recruits to Colorado n win as he did at JSU then he’ll get another big coaching job at a power 5 r pro level. South Florida job fits him better but we’ll see what happen. He was going to good at the HBCU level n power 5 was worrying about recruits going back to HBCU
If this real he really a fraud since he came to JSU all he talked about was lifting up all HBCU’s and having players come to HBCUs….just for him out of all places to go to Colorado smh
Think about this: Many of the players when asked during interviews why they came to JSU, the number one reason they gave was the black culture and to make a change. Now we will find out which ones were lying if they follow Deion to CU or leave JSU for a non HBCU. Either way I expect several players to enter the portal.
That’s the part people are missing. He came in promising to help HBCU schools get back on the map. Especially when it comes to drafting players from those schools and getting top talent to come. Now he is leaving for a power 5 school. Smh. That’s my biggest problem with this.
It is something how people are so quick to turn on Coach Prime. If God Blessed you to fulfill a dream you have I guarantee no one would turn it down. Coach Prime has been a true Blessing to JSU. I am standing behind Coach Prime 100%. Do I want him to go no. Coach Prime will obey God.
I think he is making a big mistake. I don’t think his coaching style will fit in with a power 5 team. People have to understand that boosters run power 5 teams. And the pressure will be on him to win right away. Good luck to him. But I don’t see him being dominant at the next level. As for his son being in the heisman race. Come on. He is a good quarterback. But he isn’t a outstanding quarterback. He was very inconsistent during the season. Yes he had some good games. But he also had some bad games. He didn’t dominate week in and week out. And playing at a power 5 school. He will have to be consistent every week in order to be in that race.
GLM, you hit the nail on the coffin! Now, besides myself, and I lived in CO, he doesn't fit the liberal, white, hippie Boulder... his style of play will be fine at a Power5, but not CU. Listen, I respect what Coach Prime has done at JSU. Bit that model I'm Boulder, I don't see it. You're right - I saw on the news today CU also offered him $5mil... this brotha on this video said USF offered him $5... everyone keeps talking Power5 - but CU has been competitive 1yr since being in the PAC12... I agree with you, Shadeur has been inconsistent when teams blitz him in FCS - HBCU. What in the world fo you think is going to happen when he sees - Utah, USC, UCLA, OR, OSU, WA, WSU, a much better AZ..??? And trust me, the HBCU don't throw on Travis, the PAC12 will and often... And I heard Prime didn't even visit Boulder??? I saw Prime back in the day play baseball in CO when he was with the Braves... different visiting versus living and it wasn't cold that day.... Listen, Prime is good, but he is not God and so if people think he's going to walk into the PAC12 next year and compete, you are goingvto be disappointed.... I think Prime should go to USF, they offered him 5yrs and they will give him the full 5yrs, CU will not. Coach Prime will get $5 + stadium input, plus complete control on rebuilding a FL program in which the Big12 wants USF, but only if they're competitive - Prime can make that happen! He can do damage to SEC recruiting at USF - warm all the time, not at CU - cold.... he will not win at CU, but he can at USF which will put him in contention for the Florida job in 3yrs because that coach will be fired... possibly Miami, too... Shadeur needs a redshirt year before playing FBS.... he got injured against Alabama A&M... did you see the PAC12 game last night and the hit that Utah qb took? And he's a big kid! This brotha on this video is so correct and I'm glad he said it because I too, have said the same damn thing - JSU failed themselves by not working for 3yrs to get Prime more money! He could have leverage off of what Puff did donating $1mil and Puff is a Howard alum! Oprah, Shaq, Jordan, all say they want to help us Blacks, that AD should have been on their asses about following through and honestly, I think at least two of them would have given up at least $1mil each to keep Prime at JSU....
I wish these YT bloggers would stop with this story! Enough already! When Coach Prime announce his decision then post it. Until then, stop with the fake news!!!
It’s not fake news far from it lol just face it he’s gone. The quicker you face reality the quicker you get over it. He was never gonna stay at JSU for a long time no enough money or resources
Its been real but I just can't see Prime passing up a deal at Colorado a PAC 12 power 5 where his sons can get way more exposure and the facilities is awesome. Check out Buffs TV with Mel Tucker. Crazy stuff have happened though.🤷🏿♂️
Jackson, Miss. has been like this since I was a child... anything good, the people take advantage until it disappears while giving nothing back. On another note, Colorado's altitude will ensure his players are in shape. There are "Prime" attractions there too (wink)
5 million with incentives to make 7 million a year versus making 300000 a year now? … you do the math.. and his asst will make more money as well…Who do you know that would turn this offer down?
No, he still wasn’t right bc at the end of the day we may be hurt by the move but no one can deny what this man has done for JSU, the SWAC, and HBCUS at large.
No loyalty to our own. Now he isn't SWAC! OKAY???? 2 TIME coach of the Year and current SWAC champion. You need to get on your administration and give to the Athletic Foundation to pay the coaches and staff. Trace the money in the conference right now.
Coach Prime if he took this Colorado job he didn't come to help HBCU colleges at much at helping himself get a power5 job and he didn't finish what he started. If coach prime take the job it going to look bad for him. Because they going to put HBCU back like it was and the top recruits is not coming to JSU and the one that their may leave because they going to feel betrayal especially Travis Hunter.
I'm not saying that anything is wrong with him leaving I'm just going off the narrative that he's been pushing to help HBCUs by drawing attention to the programs. Which he's done. But when it comes down to it he's no different than Sonny Dykes, Lincoln Riley and others. Except those guys went to better programs Prime is going for better resources.
And as a impact even high school players here in Colorado have said that they would hold off and change to CU if prime time came to CI and as far as you cultural shock goes really just a heads up Colorado University Deion Sanders will be the 5th black head coach that have hired
I think he's leaving,to easy for him to say he's not. Regardless he did his thing at JSU. Now the next task will be harder than before. I just don't know if he can assemble a stronger enough team to win right away?
*If Deion gave a departure speech, it would probably go something like this:* Yes! I'm having a press conference because that's how I get down. To my JSU family, friends, members of the media and even enemies if God forbid there be any, greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Bible says that *"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."* *(Ecclesiastes 3:1)* When I answered God's call and accepted the job here at JSU, I had no idea how long my season would be. But God! God had a plan, and he has never made a mistake. When Moses was all set to lead the children into the promised land, God told him that his season was over. His assignment was complete, Then He told him to go and anoint Joshua as his successor. *(Numbers 27:18)* And God, allowed Moses to look over into the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey. To my Thee I Love Family, I want you to know that I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And so I'm happy tonight; I'm not worried about anything; I'm not fearing any man. I've spent countless hours on my knees in deep conversation with God. And I was reminded of the words of the Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane on the Eve of his crucifixion, *"Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” (Luke 22:42)* Family, it's not my will but the will of God for me to announce that I have accepted the position of head football coach at the University of Colorado, effective immediately. I am sadden to leave the best school, the best administration, the best fan base and the best team in all of college football, and Neely, I mean that. But while sadden, I'm also elated at the future God has in store for this family as well as myself. Ashley, God told me to tell you that it ain't over; that He has already raised up your Joshua to be revealed at the appointed time. God said to write the vision and make it plain, so that he who reads it can run well until the appointed time. *(Habakkuk 2:2-3)* The vision has been written and it has been made plain, so run with it. Now is the appointed time. Amen? I will take a few questions now cause that's how I get down. Rob Jay, don't you come here with no bull junk!
I would like to see Vick Coach but not at JSU…maybe a Ga Southern. I actually would have liked to see him at 1 school, vVick at another, Cam Newton 3rd. Mike Tomlin 4th. I would have loved to see those dynamic personalities all Coach different schools during the same period and bring relevance and respectability to several HBCU’s at the same time
Dam he said that of he was affected a power 5 job he would have to think about it and he also never promised he would ever stay at Jackson but he did leave something to build on and he he also putting a spotlight on the HBCU schools and he has done everything he promised to the HBCU schools but prime time is a competitor he wants more and a power 5 school is a big gain for black choahes and players
College universities are selfish and self serving( some of them). Either way coach Prime will be nothing more than a deserter if he leaves. It’s not like JSU was the place to be before he got there, now that he is winning they come knocking, please. Power 5 is a pimping game but aside from all that what about the people, the respect, the trust he has in Mississippi? Dam x10
I hate to see him go but it was not abt the with us we couldn’t afford him but now it time fit him to get back to the life we is use 5 mil a year I am just sad that we r losing black back to big pwi he said he was abt bringing out good black back to hbcu school
He lied in general about his entire mission for leveling the playing field for HBCU’s. Got no problem with him leaving but he’s a hypocrite of epic proportions. He certainly doesn’t need the money but his ego is so big that he thinks he will impact the P5 level. He won’t! Those white fan bases don’t want a Black head coach, they only want him to stock pile recruits for a few years, then after he’s canned a white guy is going to come right in and win with his players. Book it!
@@mikedavis3393 This further proves that anytime Blacks get together to try and build, White folks know all they have to do is get their checkbook out and that’ll put a stop to it.
@@alphaphysique6625 yeah he let them white folks control him, think about all the white folks on JSU campus telling him his next move, he could told them he want to remain with JSU,nah he sked to speak up for himself.lm glad he got the hell on, cause he brung too much bs drama.who want to steal a 30 dollar radio? know d.m well nobody broke in his son truck
I guess we will find out tomorrow after this game. I imagine both sons could go too and in that honeymoon stage the alums are not going to object. The key may be his daughter. I suppose she too could go. Your point of taking a job with a terrible program means he can easily do some better and be celebrated. guess I could put my JSU hat and flag up for sale. Have to get a Colorado flag whatever the heck that looks like.
The expectations at CU are not high even goin 7-5 in year two will be considered a success at cu. He isnt there to win a national championship just like jsu this is a stepping stone to him he will be somewhere else in a couple years.
Soon Coach Prime goes from being the star to sharing air time. Those other schools won't have no mercy and will enjoy beating him. My point they all have money in the conference where he's going.
Coach prime is the best thing to happen to HBCU’s since we don’t know when. He came in and exposed how weak these football programs were in 2-3 years and completely TOOK OVER! This is where we get to see HBCU’s worth in football. Will they rise up to the standard that coach prime set for the SWAC or will they fall back down to mediocrity and be forgotten again?
Also like to note how JSU almost blew out every opponent they played in the swac. The swac might not get 5star players but that’s no reason for almost every team to get blown out when they play JSU. Look what happened in the championship game against southern… Southern look defeated before the game even started. A lot of players don’t even look like they lift weights. 2023 will really show if HBCU football is really the hype everyone made it to be since coach prime has been there or just go back to being the down talk of all leagues again.
Coach Prime's coaching needs some refinement to translate into being successful on the next level from my observations. Sheduer will have to drastically improve in not turning over the rock. I hope that I'm wrong and I wish him well.
@@aubjones1577 thats a pick in 50% of his games. You think that is good on the SWAC level? It stands to reason on a higher level that number would increase.
5 years, 5 million at Florida really those other coaches make 10 million plus and they fail but that don't matter as long as they are Caucasian and they know it, don't have to hide it and don't care who know it.
I told everybody months ago it was a fraud and all my fellow black people chewed me out and now look everybody crying. He did the same thing in high school football. Pay attention 😂
FCS schools do not have the financial resources to compete with FBS power five programs end of case. I am unaware of any FCS program retaining a coach when an FBS power five program is attempting to lure the coach away.
@@moth450 Absolutely it’s another ploy from the same ppl who didn’t want Him. He don’t get it they want Him out of the way because He disrupted the norm. Winning, Travis was the 2nd nail, GMA & the ESPN Gameday at a HBCU the nail that shut the coffin. He might want to think about Charlie Strong, Willie Taggert, Arizona Coach before He get on that boat with those deceptive people. His words everything look good ain’t good for You.
Black people are only happy when we’re all broke together. The State of Mississippi has not paid him any money, offered him an extension or even clean water! I was tired of watching him beg for more resources for the last two years. We don’t put this type of pressure on politicians, law enforcement or school boards. This one Black man should go where he’ll be paid and appreciated.
This was going to happen… it’s not that big of a deal…and all of those players are going with him… the transfer’s will be big… all those 5 stars will be in Colorado…
