Deion Sanders ‘Dues Not Paid’? ‘Coach Prime’ Reacts to Dallas Cowboys’ Michael Irvin
FRISCO - Has Dallas Cowboys legend and now-Colorado head coach Deion Sanders "paid his dues''?
Our old pal "Coach Prime'' is doing fine work with the Buffaloes, engineering a turnaround of a poor program into a good and compelling one that on Saturday pits its 3-1 record against powerhouse USC and Caleb Williams. We're not sure how many naysayers still exist.
But in Deion's mind? Or at least in his persuasive presentation? They loom everywhere, and he has a message for those who are supposedly suggesting he didn't deserve the job in the first place because he hasn't "paid his dues."
Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders
Appearing on "Undisputed," Sanders fielded a question from former Cowboys teammate and close friend Michael Irvin that "The Playmaker" phrased exactly that way ... almost as if Michael was teeing it up so Deion could hit it out of the ballpark. ... Which the cleverly eloquent Sanders certainly did.
“They can’t help but expose themselves ... The more coaches talk about me, the more that kid is thinking, ‘Let me go find out what’s over there,’” Sanders said.
"Coach Prime" obviously believes that any time any coach or any high-profile media person talks about Colorado in a negative light, that light will shine the way for prospects to want to check out the controversy ... and then check out the school in Boulder.
Of course, beyond Deion's cult of personality, a winning program that gets a different sort of "exposure" is a great recruiting tool. For now? Want Deion to go about "paying his dues"? Opposing the Trojans is part of the testing, the building, and the "paying."
