Virginia Tech’s Former Defensive Guru Suddenly Elevated — What This Means for the Future of Football
It didn’t work out well. Marve struggled as Tech’s defensive coordinator with on-field performance, player development and recruiting, and was fired after the 2024 season. He spent last season out of coaching before Deion Sanders hired him as a linebackers coach for Colorado in December.
Marve’s stint as linebackers coach didn’t last long, as this week, Sanders promoted him to replace Robert Livingston, who departed Boulder to take a position with the Denver Broncos. Just like that, Marve was a defensive coordinator again.
So, in 2026, Marve will be a defensive coordinator again, just like Pry, who was fired as Virginia Tech’s head coach in September, only to be rehired as defensive coordinator a few months later when Franklin was named head coach.
