Why the hype about Sanders?

Deion was a ***** when it came to tackling.

scared to

his actual comment was “ I don’t get payed to tackle”

Agree 100 % with OP ....I'm so sick and tired of dudes like @JBCanes-NC @Big Pimpin Cane and @stevehick going on and on about "coach prime" all **** day , every **** day .

@CDWright40 is also sick of that shiit im sure .
@Big Pimpin Cane is usually ranting about Castro not Deion.
@JBCanes-NC usually spends his days and nights in the company of a certain gentleman debating who is the greatest college hoops coach of all time, Roy Williams or Roy Williams
@stevehick has been so busy with the nail salon I have not heard from him at all lately.
 
Charisma is a **** of a drug.. And he got receipts he wasnt a square type from wayyyy back.. He was the epitome of what any youth can relate to, braggadocios, charasmatic, gold wearing, music makin, silver tongue, trend setting, nike/espn propaganda machine having, dual sport, high steppin, Ima talk **** saying Im gonna score, go out and do it and then dance in the endzone cuz you couldnt stop me, dominate half the field, dont even have to go to the huddle, I can suck at tackling and still get praised, etc.. And its all on film, tape, wax, etc.

We have benefits from a coach who can recruit, Deion is that and more being a NFL HOF, super bowl winner, look like the player that he most likely recruits, can talk similar like them, knows where they come from and can relate and understand their perspective. Plus he has always been a showman/salemen, so the glove fits

He Come'n







hes a clown.......anyone have the video of him back in the 90's saying he should have played for the canes
 
Im not excusing his tackling but thats way down on the list of things I worry about when ranking or watching corners
I hate to interject my very wrong opinion on this topic, but mentioning tackling when it comes to Corners, especially NFL Corners is an interesting metric by which to measure the position...

Unless we’re talking about CB’s from the **** “Night-Train” Lane or Mel Blount era, I don’t think people (if they’re being honest) can even think of a “good” tackling Corner in the modern era.

When people talk about, Champ Bailey, Darrelle Revis, Charles Woodson, Richard Sherman, Pat Peterson from that era, or even the current top CB’s right now like Darius Slay, Sauce Gardener, Pat Surtain II, Jaire Alexander, Jaycee Horn, James Bradberry etc, tackling hardly if ever comes up in the discussion.

Ya’ll see That Prime has a 4 part Documentary about him at JSU??

Now, it makes total sense why there was always cameras around him, even in intimate private coaching moments.

Bruh has created his own brand & used JSU to get where he’s at. Never seen a coach create a documentary about COACHING?

Im not gonna hate on Deion for marketing himself to the fullest. I believe he went to Jackson State with the best of intentions. That said, Jackson, Mississippi is a ******* mess. It's a completely failed city. At some point I'm sure Deion realized that his coaching legacy could not be fulfilled in a trash can city.
 
Is it too much to request that we refer to him as Sanders, or Coach Sanders or even Mr. Sanders as opposed to Deion or the god-awful Prime?
This is after all a Miami Hurricanes message board and the last thing we should have is adulation of a Seminole. Respect I can understand. Even I consider Sanders a top 5 CB all-time, and have great respect for what he did on the football field. But he is and will forever be the enemy.

When I did some legal work for a family member of Warrick Dunn, I called him Mr. Dunn and told him I respected his work on and off the field, but as a Hurricane I could never cheer for him as a player. And Dunn is, IMO, 100x the human being that Sanders is.
