Deion Sanders promised changes in the aftermath of Colorado's 3-9 season in 2025. He has wasted little time putting it into motion.

Without there being an official opening at the position, multiple reports have come out on Thursday that Sanders is closing in on hiring Sacramento State head coach Brennan Marion.

The report first came from CBS's Matt Zenitz, and appears to have been confirmed by NBC Sacramento's Sean Cunningham:

BREAKING: Multiple sources tell me that Head football coach Brennan Marion has informed his staff that he is leaving Sacramento State to join the University of Colorado.
