I had a lot of respect for his performance as an athlete, notwithstanding the distractions, but Coach Prime is a self-promoting idiot.
That’s the whole point though. Prime and Coach Prime are characters that Deion plays to promote his brand (Prime). They aren’t Deion the man.
Once I set aside my personal distaste for self promotion, the only thing Coach Prime does that I find disappointing is use race in a way that helps him but, imo, doesn’t promote any kind of progress on the topic.
I do think he should be in the “influencers HOF” if they ever make one because he invented the genre decades before there was social media.
