Hall of Famer Warren Sapp to join Colorado coaching staff in 2024, Deion Sanders says
Could Texas really miss the College Football Playoff?
Dan Wolken and Paul Myerberg examine the possibility of the dominant Texas Longhorns football program not making the CFP cut this season.
Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes have one more game left in the 2023 regular season, but they already will be adding another Hall of Famer to the coaching staff next year.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and 13-year NFL veteran Warren Sapp will be joining the Colorado coaching staff for the 2024 season, Sanders confirmed Wednesday.
“I’m excited about coach Sapp,” Sanders said. “He’s a dear friend that I love to life and he, he’s going to be invaluable to what he brings to the table. The kids are going to love him. As far as their recruits as well, they’re going to love him.”
Warren Sapp and Colorado Buffaloes
Sapp has been one of several former NFL stars and celebrities to make their way to Boulder this season to see the Buffaloes under their first-year head coach. The former Tampa Bay Buccaneer and Oakland Raider has had the desire for months, telling “The Rich Eisen Show” in September about wanting to join the coaching staff after his visit with the team.
“For the first time in my life, I was loved on by some defensive lineman and they wanted to know, like, the keys to the vault,” Sapp told Eisen. “I’ve never had anybody shake my pockets like that and ask for keys to the vault.
“I had five, six young men around me that were basically ready to strip-search me like, ‘I know that there’s a key to this somewhere that you’re gonna give me for this,’ and they’re willing to work,” Sapp added. “They infected me, they really infected me. And I told Prime before I left, ‘I’m coming back.’”
Sapp said Sanders told him he would have a spot on the coaching staff for him next season, and even gave a preview of what could come to the Buffaloes 2024 team.
“We gonna go out there and teach these kids these five steps to the quarterback because I know something about this game,” he said. “When you have a quarterback like Shedeur (Sanders) and if my D-line are going to hunt the other quarterback, our chances of winning just went through the roof.”
Colorado Buffaloes’ 2023 defense
Sapp could prove to be a massive help for Colorado in 2024 as they prepare for their first season back in the Big 12. While the Buffaloes offense has improved from last season, the defensive unit has struggled. The defense has given up 35.9 points per game this season, sixth-worst in the FBS, and the 296.5 passing yards allowed per game is third-worst in FBS.

While the defense ranks 99th with 168.1 rushing yards allowed per game, Colorado has been able to get to the quarterback decently this season, with the 2.4 sacks per game ranking 45th in the country.
Sanders didn’t say what Sapp would be coaching for the team. Charles Kelly is the defensive coordinator of the team, with Sal Sunseri coaching the defensive tackles and Nick Williams coaching the defensive ends.
At 3-8, Colorado is riding a five-game losing streak into their final Pac-12 game with a road contest against Utah.

Two different forwards that were on the Colorado Buffaloes men’s basketball roster last season have been selected by pro teams in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Utah Jazz drafted forward Cody Williams with the 10th pick. Williams only played for CU as a freshman and missed 13 games during the season due to injuries. His brother is Oklahoma City Thunder forward Jalen Williams.
Williams played in the Buffs appearance in the NCAA Tournament but he says he wasn’t 100% healthy.
As a freshman when he was on the court he showed quick movement and fancy footwork. He also showed he is a good 3-point shooter.
The Orlando Magic drafted forward Tristan da Silva with the 18th pick. CBS Sports describes him as a “plug and play” option, “because he’s capable of playing minutes off the bench right now as someone who can space the floor, be a reliable decision-maker, and trustworthy on both ends of the floor.” Da Silva was one of the stars for the Buffs last season.
CU Boulder guard KJ Simpson still remains on the board as the draft heads to round two on Thursday. CBS Sports says that although he is a smaller guard, “teams that passed on him could be making a big mistake.” Simpson improved his efficiency throughout his college career and has extreme confidence and competitiveness.
The second round of the 2024 NBA Draft kicks off tomorrow at 2 p.m. MST on Thursday.
An alien-like monolith popped up in northern Colorado, days after a similar structure was taken down from a mountain range near Las Vegas.
A Reddit user posted pictures of a metallic monolith jutting out of a grassy area in a Fort Collins, Colorado, subreddit on Wednesday – 10 days after the initial otherworldly object unexpectedly showed up in Nevada, KDVR reported.
It’s unclear if the two structures were created or put up by the same person — or why they were put up in the first place.
The Reddit user tried to figure out why the strange-looking object was installed.
“Apparently the story is, one of the homeowners in the area believes in aliens, and conspiracies; so his neighbor decided to build one, and set it up on the hill, to mess with him,” the user wrote. “Sadly nothing out of this world.”
The Independent has not independently verified this claim.
Mystery still swirls around the Nevada-based monolith.
Days after its discovery, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department removed the 77-inch mirrored structure on June 21, citing “public safety and environmental concerns.”
Police wrote on X: “It remains unknown how the item got to its location or who might be responsible. At this time, there is no LVMPD investigation into the object or the circumstances surrounding its existence.”
But these structures are late to the 2020 trend, when a string of monoliths were materializing all around the globe.
A monolith was found in the Utah desert on November 18, 2020. The same day the first monolith disappeared, on November 27, a second one appeared outside the Romanian city of Piatra Neamt.
On the same day the Romanian structure was taken down, yet another jutted out of the Pine Mountain in Atascadero, California. A fourth emerged in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
