It’s being applauded for taking an opportunity on hiring Deion Sanders when the reality is, he’s working largely off the identical blueprint that was in place at Jackson State. He’s obtained the identical quarterback — who was doubted for his abilities as a result of he was taking part in at an HBCU — and a number of other of the identical coaches and assist employees.”
