Deuces! Deion Sanders Accepts Head Coach Job at University of Colorado


Deion Sandersaka Coach Prime, is officially embarking on a new journey that will take him from Mississippi to Colorado.

The former NFL star in particular left his job as head coach at Jackson State University (JSU) for another opportunity at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder).

The End of an Era at Jackson State University

Coach Prime began serving as head coach of JSU’s football team in 2020 and he has become a sizable influence on campus.

From ensuring the Southwest Sports Festival back to back (SWAC) title to continuously highlight the above group social mediaDeion made it through and really helped JSU shine.

In addition, Deion was a big voice in the Jackson water crisis, as Shade room previous report. His efforts even go as far as donating half of my salary to help complete a new soccer facility.

Deion Sanders has made strides as an advocate for HBCU athletes

In addition to his work with the JSU soccer team, Deion has proven himself to be an advocate for athletes at HBCUs across the country.

Back in 2021, he blew away NFL for not selecting any HBCU athletes during the draft and he recently spoke about how HBCU sports should be open to people when speaking to FanNation.

“We should open our minds and hearts to people and show them love, respect and appreciation. I feel that’s what we should do with HBCUs. We must open our hearts and minds to embrace change – embrace different ideologies and different thoughts, and take those thoughts and make them come true.”

Twitter has mixed feelings about the news

Given that Deion Sanders has done so much for JSU and the larger HBCU community, his move to CU Boulder is certainly big news and it has sparked a flurry of responses online.

Admittedly, there are some who feel as if Deion should stay at Mississippi HBCU rather than embark on Colorado PWI.

However, this sentiment has been largely drowned out by those familiar with the Prime Coach’s career move, especially considering the reports surrounding the pay disparity.

It is also pointed out that Deion has done a lot for the Jackson State, and he cannot stay there forever.

People also shared that they had “mixed feelings” about Coach Prime leaving, as—while they were happy for him—they were sad to see him leave JSU.

Overall, however, most Twitter users seem to be on Deion’s side.

Thanks to Coach Prime for all he’s done, and we wish him the best of luck at CU Boulder.
