Colorado Staff Turnover Adds Pressure — and more

The Buffaloes will have new offensive and defensive coordinators plus new position coaches for quarterback, tight ends, defensive line, and cornerbacks in 2026. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur's departure is understandable given his struggles adapting to the college game, while Brennan Marion is expected to bring more creativity with his 'Go-Go offense.'

Under Livingston, Colorado's defense improved significantly in 2024, ranking 15th nationally in sacks and allowing just 11.5 points per game in the second half. Colorado promoted linebackers coach Chris Marve to replace Livingston, who has experience calling defenses. The staff changes add pressure on coordinators to prepare an almost entirely new team for a challenging opening stretch.

Sheffield Wednesday's misery was compounded by a defeat against Norwich City, adding to their recent troubles.

The Owls are facing a difficult period following this latest result.

Achraf Hakimi has the support of Parisian ultras

Rape case: Achraf Hakimi backed by Parisian supporters

On Tuesday, Achraf Hakimi returned to court to face rape charges. This Wednesday night, during the Champions League clash against AS Monaco, the Moroccan received support from Parisians.

Sent to the criminal court ahead of a rape trial, Achraf Hakimi was backed by the Collectif Ultras Paris. Indeed, during the second leg of the Champions League play-off against AS Monaco on Wednesday night, the Paris Saint-Germain supporters' group unveiled a banner for the Moroccan right-back.

"Achraf total support" could be read in the stands.

The Miami Dolphins have already made some tough decisions this offseason to set themselves up for a better future, as they've released some top players (Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb) and fired head coach Mike McDaniel.

Could that be the start? Could Miami follow up with more shocking moves? Interestingly, ESPN's Dan Graziano and Benjamin Solak identifiedDolphins running back De'Von Achane and wide receiver Tyreek Hill as two of the top trade candidates in the NFL this offseason.

Achane is in the final year of his rookie contract, and through three seasons has rushed for 3,057 yards and 22 touchdowns on 5.6 yards per attempt while catching 172 passes for an additional 1,277 yards and 13 scores.

"The league seems to believe the Dolphins are in a full rebuild, which means they're getting calls on all of their star players," Graziano wrote. "My sense is that they're far more likely to extend Achane's contract than to listen to those trade offers, but in their situation, you answer the phone when it rings. So, call any Achane trade a significant long shot that would take an awfully enticing package to get done."

Waddle has three years remaining on his extension and has caught 373 passes for 5,039 yards and 26 touchdowns in his five years in the NFL.

"There were whispers of a potential Waddle deal at the trade deadline in October, but those might have been generated from the interested teams rather than from the Dolphins," Graziano wrote. "With Tyreek Hill released, a Waddle deal would represent a significant reset in Miami. And if the Dolphins are going to handle a $99.2 million dead money hit for Tua Tagovailoa, they are going to have to cut costs somewhere. (On the third day of the league year, $15.2 million of Waddle's $23.39 million 2027 salary will become fully guaranteed, too.)

"But as I said on Achane above, my sense is that the Dolphins see Waddle as a building block who's under contract and aren't eager to move on from him. They'll get calls, no doubt, but it would take a lot for them to deal him."

Both Graziano and Solak agree that it's unlikely that Miami will move on from Achane and Waddle this offseason, the way that they did with Hill and Chubb. With these players, both in their mid-20s, they can help usher in the next wave of Dolphins, who they hope will help them break their championship drought.
