Coach Deion controversial single parent recruiting

[Siryacht]

“It’s so many different attributes in what we look for when we see a quarterback. You would love a coach’s son. Somewhere, that the coach has coached him. … That’s what, really, we look for in quarterbacks.

He also discussed the different things he looks for in linemen, both on offense and on defense.

“Different positions are different,” Sanders said. “Like, o-linemen, I look for dual-parent homes, a strong father that they adhere to. A smart kid, at least 3.3 [GPA] and above. … Tough, physical, offensive linemen.

“Defensive linemen is totally opposite. Single mama, trying to get it, he’s on free lunch. I’m talking about just trying to make it. He’s trying to rescue mama. Like mama barely made the flight. And I want him to just go get it. It’s a whole different attribute that you look for in different positions. And we have that stuff just chronicled. We know what we want, and we go get it.”

How many parents did Suh have? I want to follow the Suh formula. Just go get the baddest dlineman, regardless of location. In all seriousness I think we've been recruiting too many nice kids on our lines.

Since deon is a celebrity and a minority he can get by saying sh-t like that a double standard but the national media won’t discuss it

How about the Watt brothers?

The guy knows the culture of those he is recruiting so have to give him some credit. Guess time will tell how successful he will be. Certainly has done well thus far in life. I grew up in the rural Midwest and have lived in the South for over 45 years and I can state without doubt the culture is very, very different and I don't mean that in a negative way. Both areas have pluses and minuses.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

I have zero problem with what he said.

However, it might be awkward recruiting DL who know this.

I would hate to be a 5 star qb with 1 parent

He didn't even know some of the recruits names on signing day. 🤣

How many of those exist.


Deion spiriting facts.

5 star QB with one parent is fine. As long as the parent was his coach.

 

[drubendall]

Deion likes to talk.

 

[Redblood23]

Kids get it...

 

[Dean Pope]

Exactly. For his sake, the man needs a filter. But alas "Coach Prime" is gonna shoot his mouth off like he always has. And that's why he's gonna have to win a lot of games and surround himself with experienced, professional coaches. Otherwise, it'll end badly.

 

[Trumplestiltskin]

Last I knew his kid is from a 1 parent household and being handed the starting QB job…makes sense…

Involved rich parent.

There's a difference.

 

[headcard]

Just some good ole fashioned stereotyping. I’m sure no one has every had an issue with this sort of thing before.

 

[cornhead1]

Big Ern was always willing to help out too!

 

[HominidHusker]

ehhh whuh?

Happy he’s not ours.

Yeah Suh's father was an engineer. Suh drove a Range Rover in college.

Aaron Donald's father built a gym in his basement and woke him up at 4:30am every morning for a 2-hour workout.

Coach Prime is a clown.

 

[keilwitzg]

This looks promising…

Unicorns in the big scheme of things.

Lmao...me too.

Run a mf over.

Easy on the captain obvious posts. 🫢. Getting between him and a mic/camera can be dangerous for sure

He's probably not wrong if you look at the numbers. You're right. Some are allowed to speak the truth.

I guarantee he’s not right, just stupid and weird stereotyping.

Better move that kid to the DL, his dad just left his mom. So dumb. I guess Dean Steinkuhler should have left his wife if he wanted his kids to make it to the NFL.

 

[huntered]

deon is 50% right on the money 50% of the time. keep sending reporters to him while coaching the game from the sidelines.

In Dieon's defense, I don't think he's speaking in absolutes.

 

[SuperBigFan]

In Dieon's defense, I don't think he's speaking in absolutes.

Exactly, it is an anecdote, is it "offensive" probably, to some extent to some people. But this is like saying "I only like blondes and Im not attracted to redheads"

 

[headcard]

In Dieon's defense, I don't think he's speaking in absolutes.

Nope just spouting nonsense to hear himself speak.

 

[EmormousDouchebag]

I think he should bring in Jimmy the Greek. He was right you know.

 

[HuskerO]

Nope just spouting nonsense to hear himself speak.

Definitely could be.

Lets say he truly believes in what he says, I think he likes saying things knowing he won't get into trouble for it while also knowing others would (get into trouble) had they said the exact same thing.

Or Lawrence Phillips

 

[redwine65]

but wouldn't you want your oline to be more offensive and your dline more defensive?

 

[Siryacht]

You might be on to something

 

[Siryacht]

Did he kill anyone?

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Yes.

 

[Mrs.Jeans15]

He really was. Just cant say that though.

 

[Huskers123456]

Did he kill anyone?

Self-defense. Allegedly.

Both had strong father figures. That was what Sanders was really saying. He wants dudes that can handle being talked to bluntly by another man.
