Deion Sanders appeared on the I AM ATHLETE podcast to address Nick Saban
Sanders continued, “Now, they just threw me in the fire because of what we accomplished in our recruiting last year with [No. 1 slot receiver recruit] Kevin Coleman and Travis, and some others. They just threw us in the fire because he was the spokesman of the all the SEC and he was the spokesman for all the Power 5s and the PWIs [predominantly-white institutions] by saying, ‘We can’t let that happen again now.’ … I don’t blame him, man. I know what he’s trying to do.
While Sanders stated he wants to keep things professional, he also stated he felt he has to “check [Saban], so he knows don’t play with me.” He further doubled down on comments he made to, “If you go at me in public, we got to deal with it in public. Don’t go at me in public and try to solve it in private. We can’t do that. Let’s come on a forum publicly and then deal with it, publicly.
, the NFL legend made it clear in the meantime that he is not the type to hold onto to any grievances. Sanders explained that he “still admires” Saban despite the optics of their current situation. “You got to understand: I don’t hold grudges. I have the utmost respect for Coach Saban,” he said. “I think—I don’t think, I know—Coach Saban is the magna cum laude to me of all of college football coaches. Coach Saban, what he’s accomplished in college football may never be accomplished again. I love how he is as a coach.
“What he said and what he did, that’s just the moment, man. I’m not going to put him a category just because he had a bad moment. That’s not how it is. He had a bad moment. He got caught up. He had a bad moment.”
