Warren Sapp leaves Deion Sanders' coaching staff at Colorado
USA TODAY
Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp has left Colorado after two seasons under head coach Deion Sanders.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp is no longer on the coaching staff at Colorado under head coach Deion Sanders after spending two seasons in Boulder as a high-profile, lower-rung assistant coach.
Sapp, 53, never had served as a full-time coach before he joined Sanders’ staff in 2024, first as a graduate assistant coach and then as pass rush coordinator. But he said he loved his new role. It’s not clear why he’s taking his mohawk out of town.
“Warren Sapp has resigned from the CU football coaching staff to pursue other opportunities,” Colorado’s athletic department said in a statement Feb. 26. “CU Athletics thanks Warren for his contributions to our football program over the last two seasons and for his commitment to our student-athletes.”

Sapp is one of several recent coaching staff departures for the Buffaloes on defense, including defensive line coach Domata Peko, who left to join the staff of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers. Defensive coordinator Robert Livingston also left to join the staff of the NFL’s Denver Broncos, leaving a void that was filled by Chris Marve, who already was on staff as the team’s new linebackers coach.
