Bengals’ Robert Livingston named Colorado defensive coordinator
BOULDER, Colo. — Deion Sanders rounded out his Colorado coaching staff by bringing in Robert Livingston as defensive coordinator and sticking with Pat Shurmur to oversee the offense.
In addition, Sanders added Phil Loadholt to revamp a shaky offensive line and Jason Phillips to work with the receivers, the school announced Friday. The Buffaloes also shifted Vincent Dancy from analyst to assistant coach for outside linebackers, and Brett Bartolone from wide receivers to tight ends.
Colorado is coming off a 4-8 season in Year 1 under Sanders. The Buffaloes will soon be moving from the Pac-12 to the Big 12.
Livingston has been tasked with shoring up a defense that surrendered 34.8 points a game in 2023. He has spent eight seasons on the coaching staff with the Cincinnati Bengals, including the past six overseeing the safeties. His experience on the college level involves being the defensive quality control coach at Furman in 2010 and Vanderbilt the following season.
