The Colorado Buffaloes are facing major staff turnover, highlighted by defensive coordinator Robert Livingston's departure to the NFL's Denver Broncos. Since March 2025, the team has lost 77 years of NFL experience, with new coordinators now in place for both offense and defense.
Despite the changes, the Buffaloes showed improvement under Livingston in 2024, with their defense rising from 121st to 43rd in scoring defense. Colorado has quickly promoted Chris Marve to replace Livingston as defensive coordinator after his successful stint at Virginia Tech. The team must now prepare with new coaching staff for a challenging opening stretch.
