Why do u consistently try to please what can't be satisfied! Why try endlessly to explain the whispers of God? Why do u need the approval or validation of persons standing in opposition of u. The goal is to please God & have him say well done thy faithful servant. Go!#CoachPrime

In that same interview, Sanders promised that Jackson State will win the Celebration Bowl against North Carolina on December 17. It is worth noting that Sanders took charge of the team back in 2020. Since then, he changed the atmosphere around that place, as the Tigers won the SWAC conference title in two back-to-back years, in 2021 and 2022 respectively. Now, he is already aiming high for the Colorado team, which hasn’t won a school championship since 2001.
