The “big moves” Deion Sanders was hinting at about his coaching staff are taking place earlier than even he suggested.
After it was leaked that former Super Bowl-winning offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich was at Colorado’s practice yesterday, it appears Leftwich is joining Coach Prime’s staff in Boulder.
Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator is joining Deion Sanders’ staff. Schultz didn’t specify what role Leftwich would have, but it is widely speculated that it could be as the Buffaloes' quarterback's coach. The program or the university has not officially announced the signing yet.
After being out of the official coaching ranks since he was fired from the Bucs in 2022, Schultz reported that Leftwich interviewed for multiple NFL roles this past offseason.
Leftwich, 45, was the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator when they won Super Bowl LV in 2021. Tom Brady was Leftwich’s quarterback in Tampa, and Brady often praised Leftwich for turning around the Bucs' offense.
Whatever role Leftwich has with Colorado, his coaching staff experience speaks for itself, and he is another high-profile hire after Marshall Faulk was brought in to coach the running backs.
As a player, Leftwich won a Super Bowl with the Pittsburgh Steelers as Ben Roethlisberger‘s backup in 2009. He played 10 seasons in the NFL, throwing for 10,532 yards with 58 touchdowns and 42 interceptions. He also won Super Bowl XLIII with the Pittsburgh Steelers as Ben Roethlisberger's backup.
