Marshall Faulk is moving on from his first college coaching gig at Colorado.
The Hall of Fame running back has reportedly accepted an offer to be the next head coach at HBCU Southern University. According to NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, Faulk’s contract is for three years with an option on the final year.
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders hired Faulk earlier this year to serve as the Buffaloes’ running backs coach. The news of Faulk’s departure comes as no surprise, as he interviewed for the Southern job last week.
Southern’s hiring of Faulk has been years in the making. The 2000 NFL MVP received consideration during Southern’s head coaching search in 2021, a year after Sanders was hired at Jackson State.
