Deion Sanders doesn’t take it kindly when someone takes a shot at him. He makes sure that he responds to these shots by winning games. He’s got quite a reputation for squaring up against the haters. Students and fans like this motivating personality, bold attitude, and swagger that Sanders possesses. But that does not sit well with some of his peers.
Apparently, Matt Rhule, the Nebraska Cornhuskers coach, recently took some shots at ‘Coach Prime’ before the game and Deion took it “personally.” He made sure to answer to answer the disrespect by leaving them in the dust. Now though, the Colorado Rams Coach, Jay Norvell has something to say about ‘Coach Prime’. Even Undisputed host Keyshawn Johnson came out to defend Sanders.

Jay Norvell took shots at Deion Sanders by commenting on his appearance. Speaking of which, Undisputed’s recent post shows how disappointed Keyshawn Johnson was in coach Norvell.
He praised Sanders’ authenticity and went on to say that most of the coaches in the college football universe are “fake.” He further supports Sanders by saying that his attire doesn’t have to do anything with his coaching abilities.
“Prime is who he is. And if that means he’s gonna wear glasses, and a hat, and his gold chain, and his earring, or ride around the campus with his scooter, that’s who he is, the kids like that,” said Johnson supporting Sanders.
“Rather than appreciating how Deion’s changed college football, you’re more worried about his appearance on a television camera.”@keyshawn on Colorado State’s Head Coach taking a shot at Coach Prime pic.twitter.com/F0tIglmu3z

He added that the coaches have a problem with Deion Sanders because of his authenticity. Johnson exemplified Matt Rhule’s comment about a camera crew following Sanders and said how Jay Norvell has a problem with his appearance. In addition to this, Johnson mentions how instead of praising him for his coaching abilities, coach Norvell is trying to bring Sanders down.
He pointed out what happened to Nebraska after Matt Rhule allegedly disrespected ‘Coach Prime’. Colorado brushed aside Nebraska and won by 36-14. Johnson later added that Sanders is antagonized for no reason at all.
How Coach Prime deals with the hate
