Aside of coaching and instilling character and integrity in these young men, God is using him to be a role model to SOME other grown men by seeing how to LEAD. His purpose is so much bigger than coaching. God is using him in a variety of ways and it's not easy.

I don't think most people thought prime would be at JSU for 10yrs. But because of the things he said about building JSU and HBCU'S into a place top recruits would come instead of PWI'S they thought he might at least stay the length of his contract for the kids he recruited. I was not one of those people I believed he would leave as soon as he thought he could get a PWI job as that was his initial goal when none of the PWI'S would give him a job. JSU was always going to be a stepping stone for him to get to where he wanted to be.

[@Baldphace]

On the backs of an HBCU. Being at a HBCU isn't enough. PWI didn't want him with no experience. That's the part he won't talk about. Keep it all the way real. I wish him nothing but the best.

This was a great interview. And it was also nice to see Deion not stepping into all Shannon's prepared leading complaint questions or misdirections throughout this and the whole interview.

Please watch the full interview and keep a open mind. I watched it 3 times now. I knw there is no way u watched the full interview and still are asking that same question. Hbcu cannot compete finacially or academically and they have certain regulations they have to pass. And he did not have this as his plan frm the jump.

Did you see when he said he got the call from JSU he starting saying talking and Shannon finished it by saying "that could work". In other words let me take this job to show them (P5 what I can do). That is absolutely fine. Where he went left is overselling and saying God called me here to show our kids they don't have to go to other schools to be successful...blah, blah, blah.

This is a good interview and I appreciate that Shannon buttered him up before asking him the tough questions. Deion should be credited for what he accomplished at Jackson State and the school is better off because of him, but the main reason he is facing so much criticism is because HE said it was about elevating HBCU football and JSU into a top program nationally. So, people are holding him accountable for his words so I do think the criticism is fair.
