Hall of Famer Warren Sapp Won't Return to Colorado

Warren Sapp resigns amid multiple defensive coaching departures as Colorado's spring practices approach, following a drop from 39 to 13 quarterback sacks in the Big 12, university said.

  • This week, Warren Sapp left Deion Sanders' Colorado coaching staff, with CU Athletics saying he resigned to pursue other opportunities and thanking him for his contributions.
  • Multiple recent exits mean Sapp's departure is part of a wave of defensive staff changes just days before spring practices start March 2, including Peko and Livingston.
  • Warren Sapp had never coached before joining Colorado in 2024, working as a graduate assistant and then as defensive pass rush coordinator, with salaries reported at $150,000 and $156,000.
  • As a result, Chris Marve, promoted to defensive coordinator, and Dante Carter, promoted to defensive line coach, are steering the Colorado defense after recent departures.
  • With spring practice days away, the timing of Sapp's exit raises questions about Colorado's future amid player and staff turnover, and the narrow window to adapt.
