I’d love to see Deion wear a ball gag and then he might be tolerable.

I love prime. Had his jerseys and everything.

my only knock is he played for Atlanta and SF (I don’t count Washington and Baltimore), so he doesn’t seem to be a true cowboy more of a hired assassin. Still. Love 21

Same with Haley and he put him in the ROH! Jerry is dumb

 

[JoeKing]

I can't stand Deion.

I can't stand that fool either. Don't let anyone tell you how to feel. Your dislike for Deion is real and you have a right to it. Shut up, Hennessy_King!

 

[Risen Star]

I think it's very hard for all time great players to coach. Trying to relate to people who struggle to do what you consider routine.

I would wager Deion's tenure at that school will be an unmitigated disaster with him leaving the position at the most inopportune moment.

Why you say that????

I grew up in the same town as Deion....people don't understand where he came from. He truly is an amazing success story...he did have one thing that helped him escape, a mother that valued education. People don't understand how great of an athlete he is. He could have played pro baseball and basketball, he was that talented in each sport. He has given back to his hometown, even when his hometown has turned on him. The whole Primetime thing was a brand, it wasn't the real Deion. People that know him know that. He loved returning home, going and finding a fishing hole to cast a line, and just hang out. I know personally of things he did for people like his Pop Warner football coach that you will never hear anywhere.

I don't know why so many fans don't like Deion. Yeah, he brash, loud, has his opinion on things like we all do, got JJ to pay him, but Deion earned his reputation as one of the best corners to ever play that spot. He was a bad mutha(shut your mouth).

Tremendous athlete and a big part of some great Cowboy teams but he’s a pretty lousy person.

This is probably the most under-reported part about him many fans don't know. Is he opinionated, brash, bold, cocky? Yes and I'm sure I've missed a few but he's always given back to his community.

Wow........I did not know that Troy was that much taller than Deion.

How? In what capacity?

It's weird, but I'm shocked and not shocked at the same time that Aikman would have shown up at Sanders' coaching debut. From what I had gathered, neither guy could stand the other. On the other hand, Aikman is a stand up, classy guy. He was the only teammate who showed up at Michael Irvin's coke/bimbo trial back in 1996.

Aikman doind his TO imitation: "He's muh WR!"

I myself don't care for Aikman anymore (now that I know more about him). Always liked Deion.

This got me teared up. Not much does, but this did.

Way to go Troy! THAT'S MY QUARTERBACK!!!

Lol @ Troy getting credit for being a classy guy for showing up to the game and uploading his presence to his own social media, but Deion coaching the team is obviously doing it for selfish reasons and making it about himself.

What?? Where did this come from?

Not sure if you understand social media

Troy uploading it to his own accounts *helps* Deion. Troy isn’t doing it for himself at all. He’s using his massive platform to support Deion and put the spotlight on his efforts

Not to mention the fact that he physically traveled for it and didn’t simply link it

"My man @troyaikman showed up to Veterans Memorial Stadium to watch some @gojsutigersfb today and brought me to tears that he would come to support me and my dream after a difficult week regarding weather in Texas & Mississippi,

Yes he was a badass for us and 4 other teams. He's not a classic cowboy and went into the HOF as a Falcon not a cowboy.

Troy Aikman has always been a class act and always will be.

Good luck to Deion Sanders and his new career as a coach.

Deion should surely be one for the youngsters to learn from.
