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

The move would bring Marion’s run-driven Go-Go scheme to a Buffaloes offense that sputtered in 2025.

Overview

  • ESPN, USA TODAY, Yahoo and Sacramento TV station KCRA report that Marion has informed Sacramento State he is leaving for Colorado, though neither side has announced the move publicly.
  • Marion would replace Pat Shurmur, whose play-calling duties were stripped during the season as Colorado finished 3-9 and averaged about 20.9 points per game.
  • In his lone season as head coach, Marion led Sacramento State to a 7-5 record with roughly 33.8 points and 262.6 rushing yards per game.
  • Marion is known for the Go-Go offense, honed at UNLV where the Rebels posted mid-30s scoring averages, with prior stops developing receivers at Texas and Pittsburgh.
  • This would be Deion Sanders’ third offensive coordinator in four years and the fourth play-caller in as many seasons, underscoring rapid turnover on the offensive staff.
