Leaving a companionship of 8 seasons is no joke. Hence, Robert Livingston had thought his act through before putting an end to his journey with the Cincinnati Bengals. Safe to say, Livingston must have had an experience very riveting at Colorado, prompting him to leave the Bengals altogether. Especially when he had worked extensively with the safeties at Bengals for the past 6 seasons, who later went ahead to be known as the ‘standout safeties’ in franchise history.

Robert Livingston was ready to let go of all the well-formed rapport and recognition at Bengal down the drain for a position at CU. So was it Deion Sanders’ Prime effect or the heightening popularity of the Buffs program that became the driving factor behind Livingston’s switch?

Colorado staff inspired Livingston

The answer was rather heart-touching when Colorado Buffs’ new DC addressed the reason in his recent interview with Buffs TV. “They’re great men,” Livingston said, about the new staff at Colorado as he met them for the first time today. It was the sparkling flame in their eyes for the sport that touched his heart. “You see in their eyes just a passion for not only young men, but for playing great football. That’s our goal. To put a great product out there for all the fans,” he stated.

For the season, the CU Buffs are plotting their revenge, wanting to come off as per the expectations set by their fans, unlike last season. Robert Livingston’s experience of working with defense would come as a great aid for the team, especially when they have the fresh talent to deal with. While Livingston’s legacy is a bar set too high for the Buffs players, paired with Prime’s rigorous training, winning seems the only expected outcome for the following season.

Robert Livingston’s legacy

It was the 2021 AFC Championship and the consecutive AFC winner since a past few years were against the Cincinnati Bengals, ready to compete against each other. What was not expected from the showdown was the prowess of Begals’ safeties.

It was Jessie Bates, and Vonn Bell, who broke the chain of Mahomes and Co. winning the AFC Championship since the last year by intercepting him in the overdrive. Even in the Super Bowl of that season, Bates intercepted Stafford in the Super Bowl to stop the first-half score. Truly a season that etched itself in franchise history. But the real question prevails. Would Livingston execute the same at Buffs? Only time will tell.
