We're talking about a man who still shows up at the combine wearing the number 21 combine outfit. Need I say more?

Wizard Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) When the "Coach" draws unnecessary attention to himself and not to the program and development of players, then you have a coaching issue. Add the fact that it is one of the most dynamic, talented, and outwardly arrogant personalities in recent NFL history, and you have a Circus Coach. Add in a Circus Coach that has never been guilty of talking too little and craves media attention, and you have a Circus Show in Neon Lights where the ringmaster believes he is The Show. It will be fun to follow this circus! I really think Coach Deion Sanders should "tackle" this issue. Edited July 21, 2021 by Wizard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He demanded to be called coach based on the totally baseless premise that Nick Saban requires the same treatment, and if Nick Saban doesn't get that treatment, he will MF you up and down. Neither of which are true. None the less, Deion was just as petulant as he fabricated Saban to be. It is unnecessarily combative from a guy tasked with leadership as a profession. This seems like some dumb stuff Greg Williams would try and pull. We can see how well that has worked out for him...

But he made up a situation about the character of the GOAT college football coach of all time, and asked to be treated the same way with the threat of being "cussed out". And literally none of it was true.... Kinda like when he said his stuff was stolen and the school was like "ummm, did you check your locker"... 3 minutes ago, First Round Bust said: is also or was the voice of Subway commercials, became a preacher for awhile, former MLB player, former NFL player, hall-of-famer, former network analyst (espn, NFLN and now coach...for how long, and whats next on the agenda ?? time to move into ownership-front office or run for office ????

machine gun kelly Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I don’t understand why neon deon doesn’t just ignore the guy and never respond to one of his coaches. The reporter comes to him did I bother you, and then he just ignores again. The editor comes to him, and he says my name is coach privately. Then the reporter privately apologizes and it’s over. it was a dumb decision on Coach Sanders part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Say what we will about his personality, etc., but he was perhaps the greatest to ever play the position. Certainly the best I’ve ever seen in person and I’ve seen many of the greats at one time or another. He baited so many QBs into throwing into what they thought were vacated areas that many simply gave up trying. Great QBs, too. Never saw a CB single handedly take away a third of the field like that before or since. Granted, I don’t see nearly as many games in person or have access to as much coaches film as before, but I’d like to know who else has been doing that with regularity since Sanders retired. It’s unfortunate that his legacy as a player gets conflated with him being a coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Interesting to hear the very different takes on this. my view is he should have handled it differently. Maybe the school’s communications guy could have announced to the media before the session that he prefers if they call him “coach” or “coach Sanders.” I am pretty sure everyone would have complied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted July 21, 2021 Author Share Posted July 21, 2021 I didn’t like the way he managed the situation. But I am glad he is making light of it now. It’s a silly thing to get as upset about as he did in the way he did.
