Robinson pushed away the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach when they met after the game.
They were just starting.
Robinson shoved him with his left hand as he walked away after Alabama State lost to Jackson State. The man walked away from his security detail after raising his hand in surprise.
Robinson said that in the week leading up to the game, he had made disrespectful comments. Robinson claimed that Sanders walked through Alabama State's offensive warm-ups in one of the end zones, rather than going directly to Jackson State's sideline. Jackson State should have taken a knee in the last minute of the game instead of trying to score more points with its backup quarterback, he said.
Robinson said he would shake the opposing coach's hand, but didn't want to embrace him.
Robinson said that he would always be respectful. W.C. Gorden, Eddie Robinson, Marino Casem, I'm on the shoulders of the SWAC.
Robinson is not related to Grambling coach and Hall of Fame Eddie Robinson. He isn't SWAC. He's in the conference, doing a great job, can't knock that, got a great team, his son should be up for the award, I love what he's doing for the conference. You're not going to disrespect me and my team and my school when you come here. Get rid of my hand.
Jackson State has 12 consecutive SWAC wins and a league title, while bringing increased attention to the league. He said he ran around the field before the game and arrived too late to greet Robinson at the start of the game.
Alabama State inviting Jackson State as its homecoming opponent was a money game because of the large crowds and attention that follow him and his program, according to Alabama State's head coach.
He made comments about what I said leading up to the game. Prior to the week, I was a good salesperson. The game was sold out. We don't know if the game sold out or not. Did they ever sell out here? I believed I did my job. I thought I should be appreciated.
Robinson said that he didn't represent the SWAC.
He said that he wouldn't allow someone to come back the next day and apologize. Not at all." You said that mess. I was disturbed by the comment that I am not SWAC. Which one is it? Today I have time. If I'm not SWAC, who is it? Who is SWAC if I'm not a member?
The "audacity" of Robinson to question his intentions as a coach is something that Sanders noted.
Robinson is likely to keep going. He said that everyone wanted to be Prime Time when they were small. Robinson didn't like his actions.
"I hope he comes back next year, I hope he doesn't get a Power 5 job, so we can play them next year in Jackson," Robinson said. I wish they would put us for our return.
