Nobody can argue that Deion Sanders is a different kind of coach than Jackson State football has ever had.
Suggested Reading
Itโs not just because he was a two-sport superstar who made the NFL hall of fame (although that probably doesnโt hurt with recruiting). Itโs hard to imagine any previous Tigers head coach using some of his tactics, like bringing in an IG model most famous for her, uh, relationships with athletes and celebrities to offer up life lessons to the squad.
In videos posted to both of their Instagram accounts, Coach Prime brought Brittany Rennerโwho says her 4.5 million-follower IG account is filthy with DMs from famous menโinto a recent team meeting.
Weโre not sure what Rennerโs overall message to the team was. A two-and-a-half minute clip Sanders posted Friday shows Renner talking about lying and cheating in relationships. A different four-and-a-half-minute clip posted Thursday evening shows the coach introducing Renner and telling the team she was there to give a lesson on โgame,โ and Renner acknowledging that her DMs โare like a Nike storeโnothing but blue checks. Iโm talking heavy hitters, some of yโallโs favorite rappers, NBA players, football players.โ
โWomen, men, in general, everybody wans something,โ she tells the team later. โSo itโs like even if we both have our own thing going on, me still being with you is a good look because you boost my stock.โUm...OK?Weโre certain there was a cohesive message in there somewhere, just maybe not in the clips that made it to social media. Itโs unclear when the videos were recorded, but itโs not the first time Renner, who was the SWAC Womenโs Soccer All-Tournament Team MVP in 2010 while she attended Jackson State, has been back to her old campus to hang with Coach Prime and his squad. In October, Renner posted a pic of herself back on the yard captioned, โHey, Jackson State! Hide your sons.โ
That might not be bad advice, given ย Renner took to IG to unload about her personal problems.
