Was going to be a really good series, until this super softball ending
I know this is a series in the eyes of Deion Sanders, but this episode really disappointed me at the end when it was known he was going to take the Colorado job before all the episodes were released.
The series, and Coach Prime to his credit, did a good job of tackling Jackson and HBU-issues and addressing them in the first three episodes of the series as they were happening, but it did not handle the end of Sanders's tenure at JSU very thoroughly.
It seems like there was a white washing to what went down at the end with his decision to move on from JSU, as they did not interview any of the assistant (or younger) coaches and players to get their opinion on what was happening with him leaving. Simply, the narrative and storyline was controlled by Sanders, and it was beyond apparent.
I was hoping they would cover how coaches hop from better job to better job, the business of college football in general, or the much larger, complex issue of HBU funding which causes these decisions to happen, but we had none of that. No other nuisance or insightfulness. Just a few tears and goodbye, with Sanders not passing the mic or screentime to anyone else.
It feels like there was a missed opportunity here, which soured a really good series otherwise.
