While the Buffs’ 2024 season ended dismally on Saturday, Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has plenty to be proud of regarding his team’s 9-4 campaign, specifically offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and defensive coordinator Robert Livingston.
“They did a wonderful job,” Sanders said following CU’s 36-14 loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl. “I’m proud of them. I love them for life. They know how to communicate with all our young men. They put them in positions to be extremely successful. I love where we’re headed.”
The Buffs improved from top to bottom this season with more consistency on both sides of the ball. Shurmur guided CU’s offense to an impressive season with electrifying performances against the UCF Knights, Arizona Wildcats and Texas Tech Red Raiders. Livingston helped Colorado’s defense go from a downright liability to a strong, cohesive unit.
Colorado will lose a plethora of key players this offseason, but Shurmur, Livingston and the culture they have created should bring fans optimism for next year.
