Amazon’s new series about Deion Sanders looks like a great show for college football fans.
“Coach Prime” is a four-part documentary that follows Sanders‘ third and final season coaching the Jackson State Tigers.
The Tigers are 12-0 with one game against NC Central left in the Celebration Bowl. The season was an absolutely incredible run, and Amazon chronicled it all.
We know how the Deion Sanders story ends at JSU.
Does “Coach Prime” look like a fascinating show? Absolutely. Hard to imagine college football fans won’t be tuning in when it drops December 29.
However, we all know how this saga ended. Deion Sanders walked out the door after an incredible run and took the Colorado job.
Good for him. He went 27-5 before leaving, and he earned the opportunity for a bigger job. Lots of people are hoping he crushes it.
Having said that, how exciting can a show be where everyone knows the conclusion? Deion Sanders has been in the news nonstop due to taking the Colorado job. Everyone knows how it shook out.
Isn’t it gonna be a shade anti-climatic when the show builds up all season?
Despite knowing the ending, plenty of football fans will be watching December 29.
I used to like Prime. F Prime. I’ve grown extremely tired of this dude’s act, and it is an act. He can get away with all this bs at an HBCU. Not in the Pac 12. Cant wait to see him crash and burn.
I dont care to see him crash and burn but you are right, its an act. I just wanna see how far he can make it.
Deion Sanders is proselytizing a point of view — that’s not exactly ‘putting on an act’
. It is not that dissimilar from Saban’s. Where he takes it is his business, in my opinion.
