New Jackson State Coach Deion Sanders Implements Rules On Toilet Use

Hall of Fame defensive back Deion Sanders has long maintained he wanted to be a college football coach, so he is now living his dream as the main man at Jackson State. Sanders has already landed some prized recruits and transfers, as relayed by OutKick's Clint Lamb. But before he gets down to business, he is making sure the players take care of their own business -- on the toilet.

Sanders, 54, relayed his message via a photo of a toilet on Instagram, featuring two sheets of taped paper on the wall above the commode. One read, "If your aim is off, do the split!' The other stressed, “Treat this toilet like your Mama got next! — Coach Prime.” While the first message undoubtedly has some merit, Sanders seemed to really stress the second.

“This is 1 of my Pet Peeves so I had to leave a message to get my point across," Sanders wrote. "Stop taking for granted kids know certain disciplines & etiquette. A lot of young men & woman hadn’t been taught a THANG.. Real Coaches don’t ever stop coaching."

 

Neon Deion received support for his advice on proper toilet protocols from legendary quarterback Brett Favre. "“Lol but so true!!” Favre wrote under the post.

Sanders and Jackson State join other FCS programs that skipped the fall season by playing a schedule that begins in February and ends in April. The Tigers are slated to open Feb. 21 vs. Edward Walters.
