Coach Prime has done it again.

The Jackson State head football coach has added another big name to his star-studded arsenal of coaches.

Mike Zimmer, who formerly served as the Minnesota Vikings’ head coach from 2014-2021, has agreed to join Deion Sanders’ staff as an offensive analyst. The two have been friends with one another since the late 1990s when Zimmer was Sanders’ defensive backs coach for the Dallas Cowboys.

“Glad I don’t have to pay u because I can’t afford u. Let’s go Baby!” Sanders wrote on Instagram.
