A man who needs no introduction and as Channing would say, important enough that Ryan risked his life to come visit in the altitude of Colorado...yes that's right, we are sitting down with none other than Prime Time himself, our friend and icon- Deion Sanders.
In an emotional and layered conversation covering everything from his HBCU exit, to new job at Colorado, his grave health scare, the importance of family and progression...Deion doesn't hold back as the guys chat through many tough topics and are able to soak up the wisdom and grasp the spirit of a man willing to share his trials, tribulations as well as celebrate the wins along the way too.
Following the recent social and cultural uproar from his comments on recruitment, leaving Jackson State University for Colorado- Coach Prime is not shying away from the backlash and speaking honestly as he opens up to Fred, Ryan and Channing about the past couple months of change. In a long awaited conversation dating back to a previous exchange where Channing told Deion he didn't see him at a HBCU for a long time because of the lack of money and resources- Deion sets record straight that it was never about money, it was always about a calling to make a difference and create opportunities. Focused on what's in front of him and adapting to the opportunities life creates and the importance of bringing those close to him along on the journey, especially with his children.
Ryan asks Prime how HBCUs will continue to grow without his footprint and blueprint, especially after bringing 5-star players like Travis Hunter with him in his exit and how will the programs maintain that level of attention without his contributions. Deion credits his time at JSU for making him the coach he is today and proud of the foundation he built for others to expand upon and explains why he felt it was his time to move on.
Deion becomes emotional when Fred asks about the importance of community and continues to discuss family through his recent health scare. In a moment of vulnerability, Deion opens up about having no control as he battled one of the toughest things he’s ever been through and one of the scariest too, having blood clots in his lower extremities which led to amputation of two toes. Relying on those close to him, it was extremely difficult to be away from his children as Prime emotionally shares one moment with his son Shedeur which really put into perspective the effects change was having on not just him, but everyone close to him.
Being one of the greatest athletes in our era and an icon on every level, Ryan talks to Deion on how doing the physical things that made him a legend are now the things he is unable to do and how that transition has been mentally. "I hope to run again one day...that's my goal, to be able to run," Deion says with watery eyes, it's the little things sometimes we take for granted who made us who we are that we no longer can do- that's when life becomes real.
With the odds stacked against him, Deion is known for being a winner everywhere he goes and with everything he does which makes this transition to a new level, a challenging one. Ryan reiterates the importance of strong leadership and putting good people in proper places to excel and grow with him, which Deion has mastered. Close to selling out the stadium in Colorado for the first time in years, Prime talks about what it takes to build a championship program and his goals for the upcoming years as not just a coach but a father too.
Deion’s next chapter as the head coach of Colorado is being documented for an upcoming series on Amazon Prime.

“I don’t dream when I’m a sleep, I dream when I’m wide awake” - Coach Prime 🔥

[@1Nubien]

Which many of his achievement came while wide awake as he envisioned them and put them in play which made him what he is today. Because many of us dream a whole lot of stuff we plan on doing in the future and once we wake up we no longer feel the need to pursue them or we just totally forget them. So I understand the message he just schooled us all with.

You know when he started in the NFL I bought the CD of Prime Time. I even named my Park and Recreation Team ‘Prime Time’ and we won the championship. I had some brothers on their could hoop. Them Brothers wanted to play for me cause I respected them all and what they brought to the game. And watching Coach Prime be head coach at Colorado and bringing discipline back to the game . And the quote baby daddy’s to Fathers says volumes about what this man stood for. I watch his Hall of Fame speech and about his Mother was moved me to tears.. I watched at Atlanta high stepping down the sideline to San Francisco where he helped win the Super Bowl then go to Dallas. Like he said he’s been winner all his life . And this group on the Pivot they are interviewing but they also getting something from it. That’s why he so loved cause he tells the truth and the truth stands alone . And there’s no disputing that .. I can’t wait to the opening day of 1:07:40 Colorado football team takes the field.. Oh big shot out to the Pivot these Brothers get the best ..

[@jackie6189]

Great show guys!!! All three of you guys are gifted at what you do. RC is an excellent journalist; so natural. As always Coach Prime is so engaging and encouraging. Continued BLESSINGS gentlemen 🙏🏾🖤💛🖤💛

[@john-uy7ss]

It’s going to be a sad day when this man is no longer with us someday. The impact prime has had on sports is unmatched

[@kynix3532]

How could you not love Coach Prime, how could a top athlete not see the vision and want to play for Coach Prime. He's been a winner and still winning! Salute to the Pivot! This was awesome.

[@mc10065136]

Deion is calculated and does things with purpose. Not to just better himself but all those who RIDE for him. That's loyalty and love and faith played out. Love this interview!

[@BoosterGoldEarth6]

No u had it correct with the first sentence. He calculated for himself only. Nothing wrong with it, just don't pretend to be magnanimous

[@terryburney545]

@@BoosterGoldEarth6 after seeing this that what you came up with, you don’t get, no you don’t want to get it. You are a hater.

[@bamjackson2530]

​@@BoosterGoldEarth6 I agree.

[@Jhestyb]

Deion was my favorite baseball and football player growing up. Especially in Atlanta. Love to see where he is at in life. Great human

[@missclass8103]

Every time I watch one of these interviews, I catch myself saying, “This was their best.” And every interview after that gets even better. Thank you, gentlemen. This was 🔥

[@susanb8222]

I love candid interviews with Prime Time. He flows so evenly & succinctly with the conversation. All the other stuff is great too; but this right here, is the best…👍🏽 great job, guys!

[@RVRayRay]

Coach Prime is a great man! Such a positive force in a time of so much negativity.

[@aenriquez1987]

🔥 This episode is going in the record books as one of the greatest! Salute to all these fellas n crew

[@sharonlycorish3668]

This Pivot podcast with Coach Saunders is indeed revealing and inspirational. Congratulations to all four black humans.

[@j.branch819]

I am what I am... I’m old school Not a old fool. Straight bars 💯 There’s only one Coach Deion “Prime Time” Sanders!!!

[@kellykenney1953]

Thank you Deon & Pivot. I love your championship mindsets. They are valuable. I am a stage 4 cancer survivor. I had to have my tongue removed. Lord knows, I spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals. From playing semi-pro sports to being 100% disabled. Humble is the way. I became a caregiver to help disabled people I still am to show God I appreciate my 2nd chance at life I worked my way off disability taking care of others with no voice. Changed forever never the same. The new normal.

[@jrwilkinson08]

Great work my brother. Thank God for you recovery and your work!

[@artanderson4240]

God bless you, sir. You REALLY DO have a witness to report

[@menaj2954]

This conversation is a pure example why in most ethnic cultures elders are respected and needed. You can feel the respect these men have for Deion listening to his every response and nugget of wisdom. I really enjoyed this conversation and his shirt " I'm not hard to find ". Lovely !!

[@bobsantilli7565]

I’m all in on The Buffs. I love his message and how he gets it across.

[@edwardsingleton6899]

These guys need to have their own HBO or Showtime show. Not sports show, there far beyond sports. I love the way that RC change the conversation to not only career but personal not only personal, family and so on. Great show even better interview. Coach prime has transcended his playing career, what I mean is for the new generation who are just hearing him, you would think he’s coached his whole life. True hall of fame.

[@tw9946]

Agreed man!!! The Pivot is the best and they have the best, natural, unforced camaraderie. They work well and respect each other’s opinions and they have grace to let someone be heard and ask questions. It’s guys just enjoying the games without all the yelling and excessive cursing. These are grown men and it’s refreshing to see.

[@kevinahn8640]

Man coach prime is so inspiring, prayers to him, and for everyone that thought his initial speech on CO was disrespectful, they ain’t see the whole thing, it was mad inspiring too

[@shunmartin9702]

I love this episode. You got the confident bravado of Coach Prime but the heart and love of Deion Sanders. As a father, I loved hearing him drive the point of family and the graduation rate. He’s more then a coach

[@michavez22]

Best one by far. Love Coach Prime’s life philosophy and the shows philosophy. Bravo, gentlemen.

[@SoCalRMD]

Absolutely loved this interview, I will definitely be cheering for the Buffs this upcoming season. My heart breaks to hear him speak about wanting to run again, some of my first NFL memories were of him as a Falcon flying down that field returning punts and kick offs, all the love, prayers and good vibes for him and all his success on and off the field.

[@aprils9932]

I know we serve a different God because my God is called to one people only he is not a whore, Matthew 15:24 tells us that. He only married one people

[@tommclain8893]

Can’t get enough of Prime. Instantly converted Buffalo fan. PIVOT you crushed it again!

[@ninonrhome5043]

This was such a treat! I love the fact that Deion stands unapologetically on his faith. Go Noles! Outstanding interview gents.

[@gregwright2059]

Prime can work wherever he WANTS to work. This is America. If people are bitter or don't take advantage of what he brought to HBCUs then that's their fault. NOT his. But people rather blame others instead of looking in the mirror. Deion set a precedent that anybody can model moving forward.

[@yallbeblessed]

Can’t say the fans don’t care PrimeTime/ Mr. Sanders …. I da*n near cried watching it happen on your show.. God bless U 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Cha.21]

Hands down.. *THIS INTERVIEW IS CERTIFIED CLASSIC*

[@robert.mills5]

One of the dopest interviews I've watched in a while... RC is the best host also, ask real questions and then allow the person to respond and actually LISTEN to what they say so the conversions. Someone please point Vlad to this show... these are real interviews, not interrogations. Keep up the great work pivot team!

[@ProfesorHialeah]

This mentality that coach prime has rarely is seen on the college level by coaches he’s a true diamond in the rough saving kids

[@ghabiman]

Y’all deserve an EMMY for this 🔥

[@d.bankhead3228]

I could watch this interview over 10 more times. There are so many gems for life, not just football!

[@DealwiththeReal]

I could listen to Prime talk all day…the realness is contagious

[@mr.robinson4905]

coach prime the goat has spoken. People always remember the bad you do in life. they will forget the good." You Are Appreciated "
