He is an asshole.
He is an entertainer.
He is an entertaining asshole, that happens to coach football.
All the flashy “me me me” bullshit is to be expected, it fucking “Neon” / “Primetime” Deion Sanders. That’s who he was in the league, and that’s who he has continued to be. It’s part of the reason we are drawn to him and his story and honestly having a real “personality” in the coaching ranks can be fun and generate conversation (109 pages worth I guess).
the real issue is he is a fucking thin skinned pussy, and those attributes seemed to be passed on to his kids (also you always going to get a ton of criticism if your kid is a starting player, whether the player is great/mid af). Shadeur and wanting his “hype” song to play after TDs instead of the fucking band playing. Then Shilo appears to just be his own special level of overrated and a shitheel.
I can’t imagine any coach really “enjoys” dealing with the media, but it’s literally a part of the job and you take in all the bullshit that comes with it (unfair judgments/harsh personal criticism/call outs on coaching style and scheme/etc.). Deion seems to think it’s a privilege for the media to interview him. He is a condescending dickhead in his interactions with media, loves playing the victim, and will quickly throw a player under the bus.
banning a reporter? Give me a fucking break. Unless that reporter was wayyyyy out of line, that move is a clear sign of a narcissist wanting to silence opinions they might slightly nick his humongous ego.
I want them to lose, because fuck CU and fuck the b12. But Deion certainly makes it easy to criticize and laugh at his failures, so I will continue to do so.
