Deion Sanders Tears Into His Jackson State Players After Three-Game Losing Streak

Deion Sanders started out his tenure as “Coach Prime” at Jackson State pretty well. The team was 3-0, but now, they’ve hit a snag. Deion’s squad is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, and he has seen enough of the BS.

Following the team’s latest loss, Sanders went on an epic rant against his team, questioning everything about their compete level.

“To change the culture, you’ve got to change the people. If I was in church, the organ would have hit me right then,” Sanders said to the Clarion Ledger. “You all know what we signed. You know what we’ve got coming in here, you know how we evaluate and what needs to go and what needs to stay. If you don’t do your job, what happens? This is that kind of business. This is how it is.”

“I told them a story about back in the day, we didn’t have swimming lessons,” Sanders said. “They went and threw us in the pool. And we had to believe that we could swim and we was going to make it back to the side. Back in the day, we didn’t have an opportunity to get in nobody’s DMs (direct messages). We had to shoot our game. We had to believe that that woman was going to have love for us, just by the game we spat. We had to believe.

“It’s a whole lotta ‘I believe’ around here, but it ain’t a whole lot of substance behind it. And I told all of them, we would come to that point in time in this game where adversity was going to hit us and we was going to see do you really believe.

Check out some more comments from a clearly irate Deion Sanders.

The good news for Coach Prime is that he seems to have a pretty good offense over there at Jackson State. They just need to find a way to get some stops on the defensive side of the ball. Luckily, Deion Sanders knows a thing or two about that.

Despite the losing streak, it seems like Sanders has his team moving in the right direction. These things take time.
