"Tells you what he feels": When Coach Prime's ex fiancée Tracey Edmonds got real about how he handles negative feedback at Colorado

When Tracey Edmonds and Deion Sanders, a.k.a. Coach Prime, were setting couple goals before their split, the actress didn’t hold back her admiration for the iconic football coach.

During an interview in October 2023, Edmonds gushed about Sanders, who was the talk of the town due to his first season in charge of the Colorado football program.

"He is a winner. He’s always been a winner," Edmonds said, beaming with pride over Sanders’ rising fame and the phenomenon known as 'The Prime Effect'.

When asked about the negative feedback Sanders sometimes receives, Edmonds addressed it straight away.

"Deion is prime, and he's outspoken. He's gonna tell you what he feels. Some people are gonna like it," she explained.

​

It was all part of the Coach Prime package for Edmonds, who loved his direct style of entertaining fans and critics.

Despite the ups and downs in their personal lives, Edmonds remained proud of Sanders' accomplishments, even as their relationship ended two months later.

Why did Tracey Edmonds split with Deion Sanders?

The Colorado Buffaloes coach and Tracey Edmonds officially ended their relationship on December 3, 2023, calling off their engagement. The couple, who had been together for over a decade and engaged for four years, released a joint statement announcing their decision to split.
