Deion Sanders will coach Jackson State on Saturday in the Celebration Bowl, his final game as the Tigers’ head coach before he moves on to the University of Colorado<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coach Prime’s move has been criticized<\/a> as much, and maybe more, than it has been celebrated.<\/p>\n

Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, has heard all the noise since he made his departure official.<\/p>\n

But he set the record straight during a press conference Friday in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Sanders noted that he never claimed he would stay at Jackson State forever.<\/p>\n

“Never once did I say they\u2019re gonna put a tombstone with my name on it at Jackson State. So I wasn’t gonna die here. Y’all know that,” he said.<\/p>\n

But Sanders also had to make it known that he accomplished everything he said he would when he took his first college head coaching gig. Sanders made headlines in recent years for helping revitalize a much smaller football program at the historically Black college.<\/p>\n

“Everything I said I would do, I did. Everything I said I wanted to happen, I tried my darnedest to make it happen. We’ve exceeded, I think, expectations, in some realm,” Sanders said,<\/p>\n

“But when I don\u2019t fit into someone else\u2019s plan and purpose, now there’s ridicule. But you forgot about my plan, and God\u2019s purpose<\/a>. That\u2019s where the dysfunction comes. \u2026<\/p>\n

“At what point do we keep dominating, that you don\u2019t get mad at us for dominating? Because it\u2019s a level of dominance when you start to turn. And I felt that we start to get tension from our own people, because you\u2019re dominant. \u2026 But it comes a time that that’s not what it\u2019s all about for me. I\u2019m a winner. I\u2019ve always won. I\u2019m gonna win\u2026<\/p>\n

DEION SANDERS OFFICIALLY NAMED HEAD COACH AT COLORADO<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m a football coach and a darn good one. Name one thing in football that we haven\u2019t accomplished that I said we would. But it’s bigger than that. And until we address these underlying issues that nobody wants to talk about, ain\u2019t nothing gon’ change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m a change agent. \u2026 When we leave, you’re gonna find out what all we did. Because they don’t really talk about the positivity \u2018til we go. You’ll find out what all we did for Jackson State and all we wanted to do for Jackson State. I just pray to God that in all our getting, get some understanding on change and where change really starts. It does not start in the football department.”<\/p>\n

So, despite whatever criticism he has received, Sanders seems at peace with what he did for Jackson State and historically Black universities.<\/p>\n

With Jackson State<\/a>, Sanders has gone 27-5, and his team is 12-0 for a second consecutive season.<\/p>\n

The Colorado program has fallen on hard times, and it fired head coach Karl Dorrell after an 0-5 start to the season.<\/p>\n

The Buffs ended their 2022 campaign 1-8 in the Pac-12 and were blown out by Utah<\/u><\/a> in their final game, 63-21.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
