Deion Sanders HC at Jackson State

[El Paso Eagle]

Does his son join him? Will be interesting  to see how he does.

Just offered a 5-star DT.

Should be interesting to follow.

Personally, I don't believe extreme talent always translates into teaching skills.  I've seen some really good players (and musicians) that just "got it", and didn't relate to students that needed to work to learn it.

I wish him all the best, except when we're competing with Jackson St lol

If he succeeds he's gone after 2 years, if he doesn't then he's there 2 years before he tires of it and goes back to joining the media. I'm not sure if he's ready for the grind that it takes to be a CFB coach, especially at somewhere like Jackson St.

Have they announced the Netflix Documentary/Reality Series yet? I'm assuming that's the main thing here.

You may be right, but Sanders doesn't strike me as a person climbing up the coaching tree like other career coaches.  He's already an established media mouth.  He might just be "seeing what it's like", perhaps hoping to coach his son.

Working the NFL beat has always been secondary to Deon. Since his playing days, he has always coached kids. More recently, as the OC coordinator at TCCH, AAA/Focus and Prime Prep Academy. His summer AAU team was billed The Truth. He has never taken a salary. The NFL gigs evidently paid the bills. He generally flew out to the studios the day before games and often time has done remote assignments from Prosper before moving to Cedar Hill. He’s had 3 sons to coach/follow and now feels he is free to accomplish his dream of coaching on the college level.

Good points. I wonder if his son will follow him?

[ntmeangreen11]

His time there will end up going as well as Prime Prep Academy did and he'll likely be gone within 2 years.

Think Isaiah Thomas/FIU

[UNTLifer]

Except Sanders is a better person than Thomas, much better.

If Shedeur Sanders was smart, he would stay at FAU because there are so many more benefits than Jackson State.
