Deion Sanders cuts SWAC Media Day interview short after taking issue with being called 'Deion' Sanders referenced Alabama coach Nick Saban before abruptly departing the annual event

Deion Sanders is serious about being called Coach Prime, or at least about not being called by his first name. This was confirmed on Tuesday as the former NFL megastar and second-year coach at Jackson State walked out of an appearance at SWAC Media Day after a reporter referred to him as Deion,  according the Clarion-Ledger.

If you call Nick (Saban), Nick, you'll get cussed out on the spot, so don't do that to me, Sanders said. Treat me like Nick. 

Sanders eventually addressed the matter on Twitter and denied he walked out of the interview session -- admitting he did move on to another media outlet while providing proof.

This is how all of this started, I really Pray for all of us because this was something so minimal that was hilarious to me that you allowed a FOOLISH media outlet and person to play on your Preconceived notions. I’m all about Peace, Love, Work, Commitment, Sacrifice & Forgiveness. pic.twitter.com/ZjZPMVJVfj— COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) July 21, 2021

Deion Sanders Crushes His Son On Twitter: 'stop The Hood Stuff!'

Sanders' reference to Saban came after a debate erupted late in the 2020 season over whether it is appropriate for reporters to call Saban by his first name when addressing the legendary coach. Saban never weighed in on the matter and doesn't seem to care what he's called. Reporters customarily address the coaches they cover -- even Saban -- by their first names without being cussed out.

Reporter covering Jackson State on Tuesday told his newspaper that he calls everyone he interviews by their first name. Many reporters who regularly cover Alabama do the same, and do so without any quarrel from Saban.

Deion Sanders couldn't be more inaccurate. Nick Saban doesn't cuss out reporters who call him Nick like Deion says. What a clown move to walk out of media days over that. https://t.co/HF3lyWrIF6— John Talty (@JTalty) July 20, 2021

Deion Sanders Tweets That His Wife Beat Him...

During his Wednesday appearance at SEC Media Days, Saban made it clear he doesn't care what he's called. But then again, he doesn't have a nickname nearly as cool as Coach Prime.

So how does Nick Saban like to be addressed? “I respond to just about anything. I’ve been called just about everything.” Adds: “It’s not something important to me.”— Alex Scarborough (@AlexS_ESPN) July 21, 2021Deion Sanders speaks after being introduced as the new head footbl coach at the University of Colorado during a news conference Sunday, Dec. 4, 2022, in Boulder, Colo.

Reports started coming in a day before the SWAC Championship Game that Jackson State coach Deion Sanders was taking the Colorado job. That was more than enough to add fuel to the hftime fire of the SWAC title game.

Jackson State had a 33-10 lead at the hf, but Southern had something to smile about after the band announcer trolled Jackson State about Sanders’ departure for Colorado.

“Two-four-six-eight let’s get country like Jackson State, ” the announcer said. “Hey Jackson, it sounds like you have to get ready to find a new head coach. How come your coach don’t want you no more? I told y’l he wasn’t SWAC. Coach Prime is about to be big bling.”

After each of the Denver Broncos' many, many losses this season, fans have exploded with a blend of anger and disappointment on Twitter and other social media platforms. But the response to the franchise's all-too-typical 10-9 defeat to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday, December 4, was different. Rather than venting their ire about yet another choke job, many fans chose instead to focus on the University of Colorado Boulder's hiring of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders as its football squad's new head coach — and to fantasize that the man nicknamed Prime Time could somehow direct CU and the Broncos simultaneously.

Is Texas A&m Gearing Up To Fire Jimbo Fisher For Deion Sanders?

Of course, such double duty isn't even slightly practical. But given that the supremely gifted Sanders somehow managed to play both pro football and pro baseball during the height of his athletic career, this impossible dream makes a certain kind of twisted sense.

The scheduling of the Sanders conference can be seen as an appropriately hilarious insult to the Broncos: It got underway at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, while the Broncos-Ravens contest was still in progress. Had quarterback Russell Wilson and first-year coach Nathaniel Hackett lived up to sky-high expectations prior to the start of the 2022-2023 campaign, most local sports lovers would have been torn about whether to switch over to the CU event, despite Neon Deion's undeniable star power. But yesterday, the distraction was an absolute blessing.

There's no reason to linger over the reasons why. The Ravens seemed ripe for the plucking when starting quarterback Lamar Jackson went down with an injury during the first half of the match-up — and Justin Simmons's two interceptions against his replacement, Tyler Huntley, provided even more opportunities for points. But Russ and company once against went touchdown-free for sixty minutes, notching just three field goals en route to a 9-3 lead. But anyone who's watched the Broncos this season knew that six-point margin wouldn't hold, and it didn't: Huntley methodically led a late sixteen-play, 91-yard drive that sealed Denver's doom in the most predictable way possible.

Fortunately, many thousands of folks didn't see this result live. Instead, they were eyeballing as Sanders, whose Jackson State outfit had completed an undefeated season by winning the Southwestern Athletic Conference championship the previous day, absolutely wowed the area press corps not in Baltimore with a display of swagger that was flat-out thrilling. He reeled off biblical quotes and boasts about his body odor — he smells like confidence!— with equal aplomb, providing the first ray of hope for the CU program in years. Indeed, the Buffs have been so bad that even though everyone knows Sanders is hoping to use Colorado as a stepping stone to a better job, those assembled seemed grateful that he was bothering to plant his foot in Boulder at all.

In the hours that followed, some tweeters acknowledged that Broncos Country had been similarly hyped when Wilson was traded to Denver — and look how that turned out. But in the short term, the excitement over Sanders helped dull the pain of another Broncos catastrophe.
