I'm proud of you.

I'm happy for you.

I know how ecstatic you I know what coaching means to you.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that prime time from Florida State prime time with the Atlanta Falcons, prime time with the San Francisco for prime time with the Dallas Cowboys would be coaching in Mississippi.

But you're doing it.

What?

Talk to me about how life has been for you.

Prime time.

Well, the Bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise man.

I am so excited.

I'm so elated.

The city.

I love Jackson, Mississippi and the surrounding areas.

I'm happy man to be in this atmosphere in this culture, trying to provoke change.

My sons are on my dirt team.

I have a staff that comforts me that are so good, one of the culture said the other day on Lee Thing.

Hbcu about us is the location, and I love that statement because we're trying to provoke change 100% everything we do.

We're pushing the envelope, trying to take things to another level.

Now problem when you say I mean, I get where you're coming from, But is that the reason you took this job at Jackson State?

Because I know you love football, and I know you love coaching, but is that the reason Because you want to provoke change?

Because there's a lot of things on your mind outside of just football.

Yeah, man, it's a lot of things on my plate.

A lot of things in my heart, the social unjust, the disparity.

See, um, what we're dealing with, even even the head coaching ranks of professional football.

We ain't really mentioned college football.

How ignorant that is within C A.

But Stephen A what?

What?

What we've been through as a people in these last several years.

It was time it was right.

Um, that's why God placed in my heart and I answered the call and he's going to provide me with all the resource is I need for this to be successful, we're gonna win, but not only on the field.

We're gonna win off the field, and we're gonna put a light on all hbcu things that you're doing that you've been doing on first thing is I mean, blessing HBC using and bringing that exposure.

But not only we're gonna bring the exposure.

We're going to really show them.

We're doing a whole documentary Now.

We're gonna show them what we must deal with in how unlevel the playing fields are.

We gonna show him everything, man, We ain't sugarcoating had nothing.

We're gonna show you the difference.

Pressure has never fazed you because you always viewed yourself is the best.

So in your eyes, knowing you the way that I do is long is we go back with each other.

Your attitude was pressures on the other side because they've got to deal with you.

But that was with you as a player now as a coach, particularly at an HBCU.

Considering what success for you we'll do for Jackson State, for the swag conference is well, as hbc use everywhere.

Any pressure.

Now, are you feeling it?

I got a quote.

This this wall behind me is a wall of my quotes.

Some of you know, I got a whole bunch of them.

So it's a whole room on the other side to go.

I'm looking Say I ain't never been one Prepare pressure, but I do put pressure on my peers.

That's what my wall says, I ain't never been one for peer pressure, but I put pressure on my peers.

What we're trying to do is just give these kids exposure.

Give them a opportunity to dream, to understand that the National Football League it's a navigational system that leads from Jackson State.

That leads from our corn that leads from Mississippi Valley.

That leads from Grambling all the way to the NFL.

That it's possible and we're gonna shed the light on.

This is really ah, way to go.

You don't have the negate HBC use because of the resource is no.

We need those type of players to come in so we could garnish.

The resource is to do such a thing before I let you get on out of here.

Prime.

Wanna ask the last question about the Shawn Watson?

So y'all on instagram together?

If I remember correctly the other day, we know how turned off he is by the Houston, Texas.

Now we're hearing Brett Farve talking about how if you're making that much money, you shouldn't be voicing an opinion.

We see the Dick Van Mill talking about he's disappointed into Shawn Watson because you know what?

You get paid to play, show upto work and perform if you wanna.

If you wanna make the decisions for team by your own team.

Very dismissive.

As far as I'm concerned, I want your reaction to all of that noise being aimed to Sean Watson's direction.

You can't tell a man what to do and how to do it.

That's that's number one, But this is how I feel about this show.

I love the show, and I think he's a very astute person.

I think he's a very classy professional person, But I also think he set back in the seat in the comfort of his wonderful home and watch how this thing played out with Harden in Houston.

And he saw how he was very turbulent, very disruptive and said, I want out and he got out Basketball and football Very rarely does.

A $100 million quarterback with a C on your chest said, I want out.

We've never seen that.

That has never happened whatsoever, especially at that level in his crime.

So you can't go back.

Okay, let's just forget that you cannot go back.

I don't like that.

That's why I'm hesitant to throw see on the quarterbacks chest, but he is the leader.

But I'm hesitant.

Some organizations I see you just cause he's the quarterback you gotta see on his chest.

And that does not mean that he's the captain.

He could be account.

That's not the shot.

Sean is a bona fide leader.

I wish he had taken the stance.

Ah, year back when DeAndre Hopkins was a free agent, not a free agent.

Wanted some more money.

Go fight for him then.

But you learn from that.

And now you're saying, You know what?

I'm not going to sit back idle no more because sit back idle make because me to lose his arguably the best receiver in the dirt game.

And DeAndre Hopkins is certainly that I like what he's doing.

I don't like the way he's doing it.

I wish he could have done it behind closed doors, because now you've alienated the whole fan base that had your has had your back.

And it's a lot of it is not a lot of opportunities out there that can really for Bill you and your purpose of what you're trying to accomplish in life.

There's not a lot of teams out there who could get you.

Are you going to New England?

E don't know about that one.

You know, I don't know about that one.

Miami.

So now they gotta give away tour and whoever else Where you gonna go?

I would have loved to see him with the Rams, but I don't know how the Rams make that stupid trade they made.

That might be one of the demonstrates in the history of football.

Mhm.

I don't know where he can go that the grass is greener.

I hope he loves what he's got, what he gets, what he wanted.

But this is a bona fide dog, and he can play his way through anything.

And e, I don't know if I love the decision.

You would know something about being bona fide dogs in a very positive way because you to go at the cornerback position.

The greatest cornerback in the history of the National Football League.

The new head coach for Jackson State, the one and only prime time Dion Sanders.
