Deion Sanders is promoting staffer Chris Marve to Colorado’s vacant defensive coordinator role after incumbent DC Robert Livingston accepted a position as the defensive passing game coordinator with the Broncos. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report Livingston’s departure to the NFL, while Scott Procter of DNVR was the first to note Marve’s promotion.
Marve joined the Buffaloes this offseason after serving as Virginia Tech’s defensive coordinator under Brent Pry from 2022 to ’24. Marve’s defense with the Hokies ranked third in the ACC in points allowed (22.8 per game) in his final season in Blacksburg, but his defense had a penchant of giving up explosive plays, which ultimately led to his departure as Pry faced a lame duck year.
