Eddie Robinson Jr. goes off on Deion Sanders and Coach Prime responds
Eddie Robinson Jr.
Tensions between Sanders and Robinson escalated at the end of Saturday’s matchup when Robinson appeared to push Sanders away as the Tigers coach went in for a hug during the pair’s postgame exchange. Robinson explained after the game that he did so because he felt disrespected by Sanders throughout the week leading up to the matchup, which took place amid Alabama State’s homecoming festivities“We did not talk in the pregame,” Robinson said, per The Wild Card podcast. “I was out there the whole time at the 50-yard line. He walked through our whole huddle in our endzone. He came the long way around to get to his side of the field in pregame. I thought that was not classy at all. In the postgame, I’m not about to give you the [Barack] Obama bro hug. I’m gon’ shake your hand and go on. I’m going to always be respectful and respect the game.”
Robinson continued to express his thoughts, explaining that his respect for the conference stems from the coaching legends who paved the way before him, something that he felt Sanders did not represent.
“I’m living on the coaches in the SWAC,” Robinson said. “He ain’t SWAC. I’m SWAC. So, he’s in the conference doing a great job. I can’t knock that, got a great team. … But you not about to come here and disrespect me, and my team and my school and then want a bro hug. Shake my hand and get the hell on. Period. You got the W, great job. I hope he comes back next year. I pray he don’t get a Power 5 job so we can play them next year in Jackson and I pray they put us for they damn homecoming.”
Deion Sanders
Sanders disagreed with the notion that he was disrespectful, explaining that he didn’t have time to speak with Robinson because Jackson State was late arriving to the game because of traffic. He also added that that Robinson may have felt snubbed because he thought his Hornets were going to take down the undefeated Tigers.
“I think he thought he was going to get a win,” Sanders said, per The Tuscaloosa News. “I don’t know why he would’ve ever thought that. … Secondly, he said that I didn’t come to greet him in the center of the field. I don’t know if you understand but we got here very late. So that expedited our whole process of preparation. So, then we were in like, ‘Let’s go get it [mode].”

Coach Eddie Robinson Alabama State Explains “I’m SWAC” comment and incident with Coach Deion Sanders
- Kyle Barnett
- I’m OK with him not wanting to “hug it out” however, it could have been handled differently than the action he displayed. My biggest issue, is the derogatory remarks made by ASU players as Coach Prime was walking the field. The “F**k Deion Sanders” and the “Ho ass ni**a” etc. comments made by ASU players, were not only disrespectful, but totally uncalled for and deserves to be handled with disciplinary action. Sadly, there’s not much you can do when the fans call out derogatory remarks, but you can certainly do something about it when your players exude that type of behavior on the field towards an opposing coach. Coach Robinson stating that “He ain’t SWAC” should have reserved that comment for some of his own players, who actually showed that THEY aren’t SWAC! And not handling it, only shows that he isn’t (SWAC) either🤷🏿♂.
