Overview
- CU confirmed Sapp resigned to pursue other opportunities and offered thanks for his two seasons on staff without providing further explanation.

- Defensive coordinator Robert Livingston left for the Denver Broncos, and Sanders elevated linebackers coach Chris Marve—Virginia Tech’s former DC—to replace him.
- Defensive line coach Domata Peko departed for the Pittsburgh Steelers, with Dante’ Carter promoted to lead the D-line and former NFL safety Vonn Bell added as an analyst to help with the secondary.
