The TRUTH About Deion Sanders Leaving Jackson State | DOUG GOTTLIEB SHOW 

If I’m Travis Hunter, I’m going to JSU with Prime. Prime is tapped in with a lot of CEO’s of fortune 500 companies. Prime got the largest company in the country to donate a practice field to JSU. Having Deion Sanders in my personal network is more attractive than a big time booster from Georgia or Florida State.

Just never forget that most of the schools wouldn't be watched and wouldn't win if it wasn't for black players. But our HBCUs suffer 🤷🏾‍♂️

Jackson State was a obvious stepping stone for his career. I got know problem with it. I hope his son is successful and goes to the NFL. It's the American Way 🤷🏾‍♂️

And that is what the JSU fans realized and stated but they get attacked for saying they were used as a stepping stone and it was never about hbcus. But, Deion fans are gas lighting JSU fans and alumni saying that's not true.

Before you can tell the Truth you have to know what you’re talking about. Shedeur was a 4 star recruit. Chris Paul graduated from Winston Salem State. (Huge mistake to make since the 2 schools are rivals) All in all keep your mouth shut on stuff you don’t know about.

This is the biggest oxymoron in all of sports reporting 'The Truth in a Doug Gottlieb' segment.😏😏😏

Deion’s philosophy: “Imma get mine,” now if you come up in the process of me gettin’ mine, then cool, but imma get mine!” Everything he did at JSU was for Deion!!! JSU and HBCU’s got what was leftover. They call him “Coach Prime,” not Coach Sanders, he has theme music that HE comes out to “The Man Right Chea!” He walked into his meeting with Colorado players to “All Eyes On Me,” how much more evidence do you need to see that DEION is a narcissist!! He walked around the stadium before each game to hear the cheers of the fans!! Don’t get it twisted, it’s all about “Coach Prime!”

Are you slow? This man talking about southern miss was recruiting Sheduer like that was his best look. Bro sheduer was a 4 star and had multiple offers including one from ALABAMA and GEORGIA, FLORIDA, FLORIDA STATE ETC😂what are you talking about dude

Great perspective and honest!! Unattached emotionally and straight logical. I agree with you 100%.

Doug said 1 thing correct. He doesn't understand HBCU. He didn't got back 60 years and say. The HWCU saw the athletic talent at HBCUS, which were created because of segregation and then began to poach them, thus allowing for the HWCU to now have the athletic talent, which resulted in TV dollars, allowing the HWCU athletic facilities to be superior..🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ but keep talking Doug. Wonder if folks go back and listen to what they said, what was said when he 1st got the JSU job..soon they forget.

This guy has the worst takes and comes off borderline racist , - How are you gonna tell someone about His relationship with God ???

Watch when Sheduer plays well at Colorado I want to see what Doug has to say then

You aren't telling the full story about why he left Jackson. If you're going to try to tell Deions story,tell it all. You are just looking for the part of the story that gives support to the narrative you want to push. Sad.

I kept saying Deion was using black folks to get where he really wanted to be. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Its wasnt solely about HBCUs but it was a part of it and Prime worked hard to make sure that they get the attention that they didnt have before him.

Right Doug, u know the truth about another Man U probably never even talked too 😂

Why does Doug still have a radio show lol

How are people saying it was never about anything more than Deion Sanders? In the Shannon Sharpe interview he said he had other offers from larger schools when he took the Jackson State job. He chose to go somewhere that required more effort and care on his part because it was important to give back for him. I mean the man got his toes amputated and still showed up to work for crying out loud... the hate is coming off as just miserable people wanting to criticize someone else lol.

His Son was also offered by ALABAMA.. He is Talented!

Sheduer was a 4 star recruit

Doug correct on this. That's was my only issue with the move. He use the plight of hbcu's 2 to elevate himself over the brand and his move 2 Colorado totally contradicted what he gave off what he wanted 2 accomplish. Still pulling for prime 2 succeed dough

His son had like 20 offers even bama and lsu

Don't usually agree with Doug but he speaking 100% facts on this one.

Shadeur Sanders was recruited by Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina too.😔

Thank you brother!!!! He feels the same way many of us feel

Doug Chris Paul graduated from Winston Salem state.

HBCU’s need to capital and learn from the Deion Phenomenon

The defensive back wants to go wherever Dion Sanders is, make him a better pro and any defensive back or player wants to go where Dion Sanders is, he's a good coach and great inspirational person

What about James Houston?? Who is now with the Detroit Lions (5 sacks in 4 games) Coach Prime helped him get to the NFL

Doug been a hater lol 🤦🏾‍♂️

Chris Paul graduated from North Carolina A&T? I thought he graduated from Winston-Salem State 🤷🏿‍♂️. You said it right, you don’t know anything about HBCU’s.

I agree with you. Deion basically used Jackson State and the HBCUS thing as a stepping stone to get to a power five school because they wouldn't hire him. He ran quote un quote game on people with the whole leveling the playing field and making HBCUS programs like power 5 schools. Then to me, he lies 🤥 on God. It's funny to me, God always promotes these guys with jobs with a lot of money 💵 or higher status. In the Bible God always told prophets and preacher's to go places where it would be difficult, where there wasn't a lot of money at, and to ⚠ warn people who didn't want to hear the warning ⚠. It makes me angry 😡 when people lie on God. Deion is my favorite athlete. Was my favorite football 🏈 player ever. I'm so over this guy now man. Never idolize a celebrity or a person.

Charlie Ward was the best FSU player while he was at FSU....

You still don’t get it Doug

I had this debate just two days ago with a Facebook friend. He uses god as a scapegoat lol

Talk about him. Lincoln Riley stole all of Oklahoma players. Like Heisman QB and kicked Spencer to the curb. Talk about that!!!

Prime found out that HBCU'S aren't black schools at all. But he can't say that because black people will be heart broken.

At the very least you gotta admit this, clearly Deion has a problem with his messaging if so many people are disagreeing on what his mission and commitment were to Jackson State. Yes he said IF a power 5 was interested he would CONSIDER it but he also made contradictory statements that made it seem like he was there for a bigger purpose. All in all, I understand why he took the Colorado job, I also understood the dream he was selling was never going to happen nor was he sincere about it. If you're trying to recruit athletes away from a power 5, what else can you offer other than doing it for the culture.

I share sometimes when God tells me something, usually people respond God never said anything to them, 😅😅😅well, that sounds like a personal problem!!! When you don't know God, you want hear him.

The best point anyone has had on this topic

Happy he’s not on tv no more 🙏🏿

Deion pretending he was going to stay at Jackson state was always laughably stupid.

He had offers from bama, Florida state, lsu, and Georgia lolol

So when a person has a strong relationship with whatever he believes in he’s making a mockery of it😂.

Doug was dead on the money. Prime put on a masterclass in race hustling

This guy is clueless

Thank you thank you thank you for telling the truth cuz deion sander took all 10 players he brought to the school the entire coaching staff and the cheerleader dance coach and left a spy there and left Jackson State with nothing to build on this is the most horrible thing I ever heard of

Deion graduated from an HBCU. Ignorance. This guy is just running his mouth.

He made remarks about an athlete choosing an HBCU and was told he was out of touch. Then declares that he was right all along because they left? What? This situation isn’t about how certain you are that you DONT have blind spots when it comes to racial analysis. Smh… how arrogant and “dominant culture” of you.

Ole Goober with another clueless take.

Chris Paul finished his education at Winston-Salem goofy!

I finally understand the degree of Doug's hate towards Deion.........Danny Kanell is the connection.

Deion went to Jackson St as a career move to get into collegiate coaching….period. Plenty of people make moves like this in all types of industries. Yes, he convinced Travis Hunter and others to come there too because that’s what you have to do to win. Now Travis is going to a power 5 conference and will be able to display his talents at the highest level. Yea he could’ve went to FSU but he chose to help Deion and we need more of that in the black community, which is giving our own preferred treatment. So kudos to Deion and Travis Hunter.

You'd have to have a relationship with God to understand

This Doug guy is off again. He states more opinions than facts. Smh.

Newsflash!!!! Your alma mater has less than 5% blacks enrolled. What network is going to be there for a black person looking for an opportunity. Long live HBCUs.

Hey Doug, were you there? No. Mind your business.

I agree that Deion was only worried about himself!

As hard as this is to admit, Doug hit the nail on the head! This is sad but he accurately exposes Coach Prime’s playbook aka game plan the whole time! It was never about the culture it was about Prime auditioning for PWI’s! The crime is black folks did believe you Coach! Oppty wasted to really change the game!

This guy doesn’t hear our father who speaks to our hearts & minds n guides our souls. We only fail or even succeed 2 fail again until we stop trying do life without his will! 😎😇

I agree

OH ESPN WOULDN'T HIRE YOU.

Doug secret racist gottlieb

GOD IS GOOD ❤️

I'm a foregneir, is there any "whites" only/mostly college association??? ...... i kind of get why Everything is about race in your country

FOX WASTING MONEY ON THUS DUDE !!

Cp graduated from WSSU

I 100% Agree With The Mockery Of GOD They Really Need To Stop Saying That GOD Told Them To Take These Jobs When CLEARLY MONEY Is The Reason Plus Other Perks

I like Doug Gottlieb and his courageous honesty. 👍. Appreciate your takes Doug

I returned to this video a year later, for a comparison to Coach Prime's current situation. While stening to what Doug is saying here, Jackson State's Coach & 3 best players all fled to a school with better funding, facilities, education and of course, better competition. Maybe Doug isn't such crazy talking hater after all.

This dude out of touch

What the hell are you talking about his son had offers from plenty of power 5 schools and even committed to South Carolina before JSU, this dude just goes behind a mic just to talk without even researching or knowing the facts

If something goes wrong it's more beneficial that black kids go to HBCU'S because it's better networking opportunities

Congratulations Doug you have more views than skip Bayless everyday.

FOX. THIS AIN'T YOUR DUDE. THERE ARE BETTER HOSTS

For the sake of argument, let’s just say God did lead Prime to take the JSU job then go to CU; I can respect it bcuz if this was a biblical story, wouldn’t God send one of his children in the unlikeliest places to bring a subpar place (football program) to above average. He was lead to garbage football teams and has proven to do it on one level now on to the next. I can’t question Prime’s quest bcuz I can’t hear nor was I given the vision of his journey. A lot of us don’t listen to our inner God that why we stay stuck where we are. He completed his assignment and now he must’ve move on. Let’s see how the story continue to write itself. The Book of Deion

Spiritually, how can I tell a man what his God did not tell him.😔

Doug, he’s not making a mockery of God. He’s saying that God knew the things he was going through at JSU and how it made him feel etc. He prayed on it and the conclusion was it was time to move on. You have to have faith to understand.

White Doug is back....

Doug, you sound sour, what's your deal dude?🤔🙄 You're making issues where there are none.

Chris Paul went to Wake Forest

Other coaches be doing this all the time and nobody says anything though. Did he not help those kids while he was there ? I read he came out of his own pocket to make sure a lot of things happen. Is that not worth something ? He could have coached there for 20 years and left and people would say the same thing as they’re saying now

Love your show Doug but man u got this wrong badly

Outside perspectives, actually match most of the inside perspectives. They are people who would be the target for HBCUs will not be talented enough to make it in pro sports. This isn’t because they are HBCUs. It’s because they don’t have a global mafia able to bring cash into their coffers enough to attract top level talent. They will never have enough money to buy the loyalty of anything. But a quick lesson in history: HBCUs, all of those names of these schools/institutions were named after white military colonels, were put into existence shortly after the United States ended private ownership/indentured servitude/slavery. Since their inception, their purpose was never to create students that had a dominant position in the society. They merely were to acclimate a particular population into what the elite society felt was proper and safe. In short, HBCUs, like many other things that evolved at the beginning of the 20th century was a socialization experiment. Every black leader who is entrusted to guiding those universities and understands the patronage that keeps them in existence, coming from the dominant elite society. Outside of several success stories of mainly football, where most of the league is undrafted, those programs in HBCUs will never attract those top-tier programs. The Deion Sanders case should’ve been seen for what it is: add someone who was using those institutions to make a larger point. Every black entrepreneur in the United States does this on the regular. Percy Miller/master P proved, just like today’s start up businesses, that he could create markets, which enabled him to get independent distribution deals for his music and media projects. Deion Sanders use a similar blueprint to build up credibility as someone who can put together a football program. Jackson State, or anyone who romanticize about HBCUs should’ve seen this coming a mile away. This is where hope becomes delusional and goes wrong. Even if one is 1,000,000% dedicated to building up HBCUs so that they one day become competitive in this billion dollar market place dominated by elite, NCAA, Division I institutions, it would take something beyond a lifetime of anyone currently living as well as it would take something a kin to a military offense to have happened. This is what happens when idealism meets reality. This is what happens when frustration meets someone who has far bigger pursestrings. This is the nature of anyone in the United States, who have skill and talent, and their ability to find better opportunities.

U trying to discredit prime of what he did because he put God in the equation... before u judge u have to understand the history of black people and the religion we highly apart of...him saying God told me to go there is him saying that he probably prayed on it and it made him feel good about his decision on going to JSU..so u saying he is lying is only your opinion that is not based on any facts...u entitled to your opinion but state that also in your conversation...it's my opinion

Deion never got defensive! Doug is clearly a guy who doesn't understand black men. This is an example of a white man trying to tell black people about their culture. Doug Gottlieb will do anything to make himself sound credible. If he didn't criticize any of the white coaches for the moves they made, don't come trying to tear down a black man for making a decision. Coach prime can still set the standard for black coaches by winning a national championship. No black coach has ever done that. The stuff he wanted done the SWAC just didn't want to implement.

This is the best explanation I've seen on the matter. Deion sold the people a dream and then he was off to Colorado

Why can’t we call other universities and colleges HWCU lol.

What's your salary at FOX and why won't they pay you?!!!!!

All Coaches do that!!

He went there and set the foundation. Now the racist Doug doesn’t understand. You not supposed to understand someone faith.

Doug you weren’t qualified to speak on this subject then and you aren’t now

As a black person, I don't understand chasing an hbcu. I attended an hbcu but it was not because of culture. As far as referencing God, many people do that out of traditional, family and culture habit. I think they mean well, nevertheless why do God care about a sporting event and who wins?

Brian Kelley took the LSU while he was recruiting in California... I thought Notre Dame was in Indiana

DOUG MAD CAUSE HE BROKE WORKING AS A HOST......GET A REAL JOB DUDE

Doug has the credibility of Pinocchio when it comes to this topic. Yet and still...here he goes. SMH.

Gottlieb talking like he was a fly on the wall for the 3 years Prime was at JS. All he knows about this topic beyond press releases and 'reporting' sources is his biased opinion. F**k that, carry the hell on...

Just because the kid picked JSU doesn’t mean any of those reasons he said he was going is any less true now. It sucks deion is gone but unless Deion told him he would be there his entire career there this isn’t much of a story. You are right though, the lesson should be do what’s right for your kid. His parents should have advised him to pick the better school. It’s not like Jackson state is the top of the top for academics.

Doug, shut up! The culture and the mission can & will continue without Prime being at JSU!

THE MAN LOST HIS DA*N TOES. HE HAD TO CASH IN WHILE HE CAN STILL WALK. POINT BLANK. PERIOD. His toes are gone Doug. D**MN.
