The narrative that you won't speak on was the Money hungry administration got sticky fingers $$$ and hoodratz that stole and broke into his office. How do you steal from somebody that's helping with your survival.
Dumbazz😫😫😫

All I care about is that 06 Championship ring that AB is flossing. #ColtsNation
don’t sit close to buddy while he’s talking he’ll spit all in ya face 😂
Black Unity in Black Communities is A MUST!👊🏿
His choice to elevate. He has $5.9M reasons versus $300K, but needs to get robbed, get cheated out 💵💵, , but stayed 3 years, but they tried to crown him the SAVIOR
I seen a great man wash in a pool because the city had major issues on top of the school's major issues and it was recorded in plain sight but some people always looking for 1 man to change a system.
Prime was the highest paid FCS coach, totaling 1.2mil per year. Ask yourself a man like deion would not sue J-state if they broke the contract by not paying him. THINK people!!!
State funded school coach employee pay 300k… prime help facilitate a deal between walmart n jsu. His fee was 40% of 800k walmart contract with Jsu. Jsu chucked it up to "that's the price of doing business" (enter brand new practice).
Yall DDR's need to take ya blinders off and see all the misinformation, lies and wack narratives!
Well said… 2 different narratives. One going in and one going out… wonder if he did more damage than good
Man them niggas was breaking into his office and cars. What he was supposed to do stay until somebody tried to smoke him. Plus they wasn’t paying what was agreed
Bethae out here lookin like d fisher big brother lmao
WAS NOT HIS OFFICE BROKEN INTO AND PERSONAL BELONGINGS STOLEN ALONG WITH NO BACKING BY THE SCHOOL EXECS????????????? DID WE SOMEHOW, FORGET ABOUT ALL THIS???????🤬😡🤐☹️
You can hear the jealous and envy, Coach had plenty of offers every year even from The NFL before He left. #DoYourPart
The man went there and did his job. A great job. He saw a better opportunity and took it. He wants to excel at another level.
Okay, but he did everything that he said he was going to do. Jackson State tried to screw coach Prime over Deion Sanders , who brought millions of dollars and sponsorship to the campus of Jackson State. Jackson State didn't want to take care of increasing Sanders salary. Therefore, his due diligence they wanted him to continue to do this big job that he did for free. Colorado gave coach larger salary guaranteed. Just like any job and career, if someone offers you more money doing the same job you will leave too.
Pluse he was using his money that he was making at Jackson State, Remember they did him wrong, If y'all gone talk about Prime do it the right way, HBCU the whole community should have been backing him him, stop acting like Prime just walked out of there.
They crossed him black people don't be faithful to black people bro changed the look for black colleges no one stepped up to support or give them get mad cause he got crossed
He got taken advantage of and he was done wrong by his own people, what you expect him to do?
He did his job while he was there! There is no narrative. Now he is at a different job and doing what he is expected to. U guys need to get over yourself analyzing his moves.,,,,he is doing what he think is best for him and his family…..leave him alone.
Man come on, people can only do you wrong for so long. The man was in the hospital almost lost his foot, the administrators did not even check on him.
They needed to pay him.
Once you rob and steal from a man, all deals are off the table.
Ty bro..i heard same thing.. someone threatened him.. can u imagine..hbcu dominance in national championships..all black..prime saw a vision..dem ppl stopped it..
Well said….everything!
Coach Prime told yall Jackson State was basically scamming him but all HBCU schools took it personal…. Why our culture feels that we can phuck over each other and just turn a cheek is crazy
What yall should dislike is poor business mgt. Coach Prime dud his thing. Yall act like folk suppose to be stuck forever.
What's wrong with leveling up!!
Why put all that responsibility on 1 man.
You hating
Why nobody talking about Eddie George?
Dion is one person. HBCU is a movement of sports and beyond. "We" need to get off the savior shit. One person can be compromised, bought off, or even die for that matter. One person can't save, or be the demise of all of these institutions. It's a collective effort. Dion did his part. He won (1st things 1st), and he provided a spring board of visibility. It's up to the "rest of us to capitalize". Coaches, recruits, players, administrators, fundraisers, and alumni, let's go. It ain't happening unless we do it. Not he, WE…
But, look what he has done since his departure! I can count at least 4 or 5 black coaches who are now coaching at the power 5 level, something that would not have been possible if he hadn’t left! We as black folks need to stop looking for a single person to save the masses! We must become individual leaders in our communities and stop looking for a life raft all the time!
Coach Prime never said that he would be the savior of HCBU's. However he did expose the shadiness of that school and why things are the way they are at JSU. So don't expect someone to just tolerate someone not honoring a contract. JSU has too much dirt for Coach Prime to overcome.
Jsu top dawgs didn't see primes vision time to move on
That man was paying his staff with his own money. Colorado was a huge opportunity for him to pay his staff what they deserve
THEE JSU ❤️ THEEILOVE
Only two things i disliked #1 the lies ( God sent me & it not about money ) #2 the way he took another job publicly before all the games were played . He didn’t have to accept that job until the season was over . No coach has ever quit on a team and stay to coach the final two games . JSU was weak for allowing him to do it . And so what if his players had sit out . ( we lost with them ..,)
Maybe he got sick of being robbed
Deion did not have the support to save HBCUs. Almost fought a coach on the field just because he tried to show them how to market themselves and make money. Deion is on record describing the hardship of elevating HBCU football. Look at the money he has made Colorado. Ask JSU where the money went? 😂
At the end of the day, he still did more for Jackson State than anybody. And they was screwing him over the whole time.
Well said brother
It is unfair to JSU to speculate and carry the narrative that the administration at JSU was stealing from Prime. That was not factual. Deion was making calculated moves for himself. Both parties benefited on Coach Primes short tenure at JSU. Deion Sold a dream, and burnt the house down on the way out.
This guy is a hater .
Ignore the stealing. Opposing players cursing you out . Losing part of his foot and life in danger. Bringing in corporate sponsors. Paying for a lot of things for players and staff yet the hate continues. No good deed goes unpunished. Keep being you Prime!❤
Even if he knew what might happen at JSU, he still went above and beyond his job description and they still did him dirty. They got greedy and killed the,golden goose
They stole from him and his son. Played from a rival team talked down to him and even cursing at him. He left on time, Gods speed!
Tom Joyner Tried To Save HBCU's ForcYears Look What Happened.
Coach Prime Knew
The Deion glizzy gobblers gon continue to believe everything that one side told them to believe…. FAWK EM, WE BALL 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Catch THEE I LOVE on ABC next Saturday…..We Love THEE Hate
He said like he was going to be the savior of hbcu that was the narrative was that his narrative or there narrative I think he would have tried but I think he thought long and hard I don't think it's about him more so his kids and the players reaching there dreams as well
