The age of Robert Livingston is a topic of interest for some Colorado football fans. They are curious to know if Coach Prime has brought in the right person to bolster their defense. Robert Livingston, the new Colorado DC, is a William & Mary graduate who has been with the Bengals since 2012. He is among several former William & Mary football coaches, along with notable grads such as Joe Brady, Mike Tomlin, and Sean McDermott.
Many believe that Robert left the Bengals to join Colorado after realizing he would not be promoted to a higher position. His move to Colorado is seen as a step that could potentially lead him to a better position in the future. Livingston has taken over from Charles Kelly and is expected to enhance Colorado’s defense, which performed poorly in the previous season.
Robert Livingston, a native of Hendersonville, North Carolina, graduated from the College of William and Mary in 2009. Apart from his football career, Robert’s early education was quite disorganized, attending different schools before eventually graduating from Hendersonville High School. After college, he began coaching at William & Mary before moving to Furman and then Vanderbilt.
In 2012, Livingston achieved his goal of working in the NFL when he was hired as a scout by the Cincinnati Bengals, eventually transitioning to various coaching roles over the next seven years.
Robert Livingston is the only son of Rutledge and Beth Pugh Livingston. His grandfather, also named Robert, played football at Hendersonville, while his father, Rutledge, followed in his footsteps and played for Clemson. Unlike his son, Rutledge is not involved in football but works as a Real Estate Professional.
Furthermore, Robert has a sister named Jane Livingston Hollenbeck, and is married to Tricia Cronin Livingston, with whom he has four children. The family is honored for their strong ties to football, evident in Rutledge’s construction of a half-size football field with a “Tiger Paw” emblem to support the Clemson Tigers in 2016.
