When Jim Harbaugh took over at Michigan, he gave two options to those who skipped class: 2am study session with coach, or 4am conditioning. Good to see coaches still making school a priority for student athletes.

"At the mall and no money" that one stings 😂🤣😂🤣

See this, y'all? THIS is a coach that genuinely cares about his players well being.

All coaches need to be like Coach Prime.

[jimgraham]

This clearly shows why this man is successful where ever he goes. Keep up the good work coach.

I love that the professor threw in the "when he is here he is kind and respectful" before saying all the negative stuff as well. Some people just dont wont to learn, which is fine we are all humans with flaws. But still being respectful in that moment goes along way in how you will be treated back.

I have been the first to be critical of Prime in the past. This man has done nothing but prove me wrong, mor than once. Much respect

[J.C...]

Deion has done A LOT of growing up since his days in the NFL. WOW! 👊❤️

Way to go COACH!! Much love to you for standing tall and strong with these young men. Tell it like it is, because this is LIFE.

[notintohandles]

This should be viewed by ALL college players.

[CamboyGDubbz]

What a beautiful mix of calling out the players, the coaches, and the system.
Big ups, coach!

[tyhouston]

Amen! Preach it Prime. So much truth he’s speaking. I love how he speaks into the lives of his players, students.

[platinumman]

Well done coach! We need more men in this world who are going to guide these young men, and to focus on the bigger picture of life.

In college I worked at the football practice facility of a major power 5 school. Mind you going in I was a lifelong fan of this team, so I thought they could do no wrong. Oh boy how my opinion changed. After 2 years working in this facility I learned one thing, 80-90% of the athletes who walked through those doors felt like the entire campus should worship the ground they walked on. Therefore they acted as such, not paying attention in class, trashing their locker room, and showing no respect to me or my coworkers.. amongst other things. And that lack of accountability and discipline showed up on the field, as they failed to meet expectations year after year. So when I tell you I LOVE seeing this I mean it. Because too many of these college athletes are allowed to skate by without any consequence, and therefore learn nothing while in college. So props to coach Prime, he’s setting ALL of his players up for success.. whether they become professional football players, teachers, or doctors. Keep it up!

We need more coaches like that, not just making these guys great players, but making them men as well.


I’m famous mom

Way to go coach give these young men what they need and not what they want BIG UPS coach Prime,

[veryinteresting]

Personal responsibility….the lost art of a civilized society.

[pfhuunw]

I certainly agree with you, Coach. As a parent, I would be very upset if one of those students were mine. Parents send their children to college in hopes that they will create a better life for themselves. ❤much love to you Coach for what you’re doing for those young men. I pray that they will have a change of heart about their lives.

[StillBrokeOff]

them boys ought to be privileged to have a coach that passionate i wish i had a coach like that when i was playing

[humphreygoat]

this coach is so good and responsible. Also this is just like my coach in high school. This talk is definitely going to help me.

[jaredgalarza]

This is what Coaching should all be about
