Overview
- Colorado announced Friday that Sacramento State head coach Brennan Marion will take over as offensive coordinator, bringing his high‑tempo, run‑oriented “Go‑Go” system to Boulder.
- Marion departs after one season at Sacramento State that finished 7-5 with nearly 34 points and 425.6 yards per game, following two prolific years coordinating UNLV’s offense.
- He is Deion Sanders’ third offensive coordinator in four seasons at Colorado, underscoring continued turnover at the program’s top offensive role.
- The Buffaloes averaged 20.9 points per game in 2025 and ranked near the bottom of the Big 12 in scoring and rushing, a slump that led to Shurmur losing play‑calling before his contract expired.
- Marion is expected to work with quarterback Julian “Ju Ju” Lewis as Sanders, who has publicly vowed changes after a 3-9 finish, begins a broader offseason reset.
