If you know Deion Sanders you know this isn’t surprising.
Deion oftentimes goes off on things he is totally wrong about.
He could have just asked the guy to call him Coach Sanders, but he had to be extra about it.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback and second-year coach demanded that reporters shouldn’t call him by his first name before walking out of a SWAC Media Day event at the Sheraton-Birmingham on Tuesday.
“You don’t call Nick Saban, ‘Nick.’ Don’t call me Deion,” Sanders told Nick Suss from the Clarion-Ledger.
“If you call Nick (Saban), Nick, you’ll get cussed out on the spot, so don’t do that to me,” Sanders later added. “Treat me like Nick.”
Many reporters have come out to say that reporters call Nick Saban “Nick” all the time and they don’t get cursed out.
