The Colorado Buffaloes, led by Deion Sanders, have a new defensive coordinator.

Sanders and CU have finalized an agreement to appoint Robert Livingston, the secondary coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, to lead the Buffs’ defense, Surge Insights verified on Wednesday night via a source.

The first to report that Livingston visited Boulder on Wednesday and that the Buffs planned to employ him as coordinator was Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. By Wednesday evening, a settlement was reached.

Charles Kelly, who departed CU in late December to accept a job offer from Auburn, his alma school, is replaced by Livingston.

The past eight of Livingston’s twelve seasons with the Bengals have been as the team’s secondary coach.

Livingston is a graduate of William & Mary, where he played safety from 2007 to 2009. He is originally from Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Livingston entered coaching right away after finishing his playing career. He worked with the safeties as an assistant coach at Furman in 2010 before joining Vanderbilt in 2011 as a defensive quality control coach.

After Livingston was brought on as a scout by the Bengals in 2012, he mostly scouted defensive backs in the southeast for three years. Livingston started working in quality control and as a special teams assistant for the secondary on the field in 2015. After that, in 2016, he was appointed secondary coach, a position he has held for the previous eight seasons.

One of the several players that Livingston has coached for the Bengals is Sanders’ close buddy Adam “Pacman” Jones. He facilitated Jones’ 2015 Pro Bowl qualifying.

Livingston has recently worked with Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates III, two Bengals safeties who have had a significant influence on Cincinnati over the last several seasons. In 2020 and 2023, Bates was a second-team All-Pro.

Notable

Additionally on Wednesday, CU said that it had chosen to move their homecoming game against Baylor to September 21. The homecoming game on October 12 against Kansas State was already confirmed. According to a press statement from CU, the modification was made “to correspond with the University of Colorado Boulder’s return to its Big 12 heritage.” The Buffs’ Big 12 debut is against Baylor.
