Reports: Colorado Targeting Sacramento State’s Brennan Marion as Offensive Coordinator

The pursuit signals Deion Sanders’ staff reset following a 3-9 season with a midyear play-calling change.

Overview

  • CBS Sports reporters Matt Zenitz and Richard Johnson report Colorado is pursuing Brennan Marion for its offensive coordinator opening.
  • NBC Sacramento’s Sean Cunningham reports Marion told his Sacramento State staff he plans to leave for Boulder, though neither Marion nor Colorado has confirmed a hire.
  • If finalized, Marion would be the Buffaloes’ fourth offensive play-caller in as many seasons, reflecting continued turnover on Sanders’ staff.
  • Marion led Sacramento State to a 7-5 record after coordinating a top-15 scoring offense at UNLV in 2024 and previously coaching receivers at Texas and Pittsburgh.
  • Known for his up-tempo 'Go-Go' scheme that blends option concepts with vertical passing, Marion’s profile aligns with Sanders’ push to revive an offense that sputtered as Colorado finished 3-9 following Pat Shurmur’s demotion from play-calling.
