Deion Sanders's Coaching Debut at Jackson State Overshadowed by Drama-Filled Day

JACKSON, Miss. — Deion Sanders sauntered into his first postgame news conference as a college head coach sporting a letterman-style jacket and a nasty snarl.

“This is about to be the best news conference you’ve ever seen,” the Jackson State coach flatly told a group of reporters.

Sanders fumed with rage. He beat upon a table. He raised his voice. He stared daggers at cameras. And he delivered a stirring message: I’ll find the person who stole my stuff.

During Jackson State’s 53-0 win over Edwards Waters, Sanders says that someone gained access to the JSU locker room during the game and stole his belongings.
