I’m glad the world is giving him the attention and love he so greatly deserves. Someone stole my moms car and it had all my football equipment in it; Coach Prime bought me brand new everything and he hooked my mom up with a rental until we got another whip..

I'm not typically a fan of Stephen A. Smith, but his interview with Coach Prime is genuinely impressive. He humanizes him effectively. Despite all the noise and Coach Prime's success in Colorado thus far, Stephen wanted to remind people of the challenges Coach Prime has faced, including enduring 12 surgeries and losing two toes to amputation. So, I hope those who wish to see Coach Prime fail will reconsider and give him a chance. He's a great example of the quote, 'You laugh and cry and struggle, and sometimes you fail, and sometimes you succeed.' Let him be who he is, and let's offer our support. There's so much to appreciate in Colorado!

As much as I've always been a fan of Deion Sanders, as much as I have always enjoyed him as a fan. As an Educator, watching his talks with his teams, Coach Prime is teaching sooo much more than just football. He's giving these young men life skills. He's speaking life into them, he's speaking manhood to them and that's powerful and last longer than their college football years. See , regardless of which University athletes play for, only a few will make it to the NFL. But whether they make it or not, what Coach Prime is giving them will carry them through the various stages of life, especially the young men who have not been fathered. And for that I say God bless you Coach Prime.

College football has been entertaining for well over one hundred years. Danny Kanell had to put Deion in his place because Deion forgot where he played college football. They're giving him attention because he talks a lot.

@@Zenigundam You are correct sir, but only for the purists. HOWEVER. ncaa football lives in a 24hr news cycle with more interconnected platforms made for unlimited cross promotion. Factor in NIL in the "attention economy" and the $$$$ drives the narrative. Georgia 3-peat has no novelty as a "concept." 3-peats have happened. The "Sanders/PrimeTime-as-pro-to-HBCU-to-BSC-to-undefeated" coupled with his over-the-top persona is an absolute cash cow for networks. It is thee storyline.

Yet, that's a trait of honor/respect, etc, that HIS MOTHER TAUGHT HIM, which doesn't PERCIPATE disrespect, that he MAY FEEL, Deion is giving, and or promoting. One has to measure one's statement's, with moral, religious, or SELF BELIEF standards, not what one feels is an, "earthly, religious, moralistic, etc..measure of a standard.. UNTO OTHERS.

@@dopeeyx7605 exactly. That’s why racism is not going nowhere. Because they want it to magically disappear, and not deal with it. There’s videos of all kind of teams saying racial slurs at CU players.

@@mrbigrzlthere’s videos of CU players saying racial slurs all the time and nobody cares. All the poor white kids who can’t sing along to half the songs they play in the weight room lest them joining their black teammates in singing aloud be branded racist due to the words in the song. If the word is racist for whites to say, it’s racist for anyone to say.

Haters will hate. This man is a blessing from God. The story about the 7 buses of kids touched my heart. Amazing! Absolutely amazing.

Did you see the comment upthread from a former player who was on one of those buses? He confirmed that CP is exactly who he says he is. 😊❤

@@smy250 yes I did. I'm not surprised about the goodness of Coach Prime. I met him when he played for the Cincinnati Reds.

Imagine watching this, and hearing Mad Dog talk about he hopes he loses because he's tired of him. Tired of this positivity?

[@Thomas7Lawson]

Deion is displaying a master class in leading men. Each one of the young men on his team, support staff, etc. are experiencing a betterment of their life, their mental health, and their purpose. He's doing the simple blocking and tackling to make sure these young men have strong minds, comport themselves with character, and allow themselves to achieve. He's coaching their mind, and letting the rest of his staff handle the details and use that well shaped and conditioned mind to go out and experience success and achievement, which feeds their self esteem and then the cycle repeats. So many coaches/leaders focus on the Xs and Os but if you focus on the human being, the rest will take care of itself.

[@monicaallmond2606]

Beautiful message!

[@waxprintmedia7684]

It's essentially what we all need!

[@veandreyahuda5333]

As if he sees his players as actual young men with emotions and feelings and not just a player who can fill a position and help him win games like other coaches at power 5 schools

[@paulallen286]

What a great comment.

[@sonikspeed19]

@@veandreyahuda5333 I guarantee you, having been a player himself, he understands his players more than other coaches who are nobodies, never done nothings, and who are riding the talent of these young kids. Ask Urban Meyer how much he cares for his kids while he fondles a college girl.

[@lewcy]

The beautiful part, about Deion being how he is while going through what he’s gone through physically, is that it shows his young men that there are no excuses on the path to greatness

[@kennythrower6880]

Deion just look truly happy, he enjoys being out in boulder and as a Denver native? I’m truly happy to see us slowly become the face of college football

[@c.c.garland]

Coach Prime is an authentic, flawed (as we all are), and sincere human being. It's quite refreshing to see someone talk so candidly and not mince his words in his position. Much respect.

[@justinbchr]

He was spitting this whole interview. That comment “If I saw why me to this, I have to say why me to that”. To have accomplished that much and be so grounded is amazing.

[@andycardenas3561]

Prime is such a "real" dude. He speaks from the heart and it touches you, that is a talent. I'm taking his words to heart in this moment while I'm going through it. "Why me?" was something I would always say to myself whenever things go wrong for me, which seems to be all the time. But hearing Deion talk about what he went through and never saying those words, that hits hard in "here"

[@dominionpcs7044]

Start thinking positively about yourself. Stop professing negative thoughts. Say, nothing else will go wrong in Jesus' name, Amen.

[@matthewsdonnelly]

Also make sure you empty your mind of all thinking. This is being conscious. Stay completely and totally empty of thought just for this moment.
