CSU Hires Colbert and New Staff for Football Revamp

Colorado State University has hired former Pittsburgh Steelers General Manager Kevin Colbert as a consultant to enhance their football program's front office. Colbert, who was with the Steelers from 2000 to 2021 and helped secure two Super Bowl victories, will assist Coach Jay Norvell and the player personnel department. This move is part of CSU's broader strategy to excel in the new era of college football, alongside hiring Alex Collins as their first-ever general manager and Tyson Summers as the new defensive coordinator. The Rams, who finished the 2024 season with an 8-5 record and lost the Snoop Dogg Arizona Bowl, are preparing for their transition to the Pac-12 conference in July 2026. The hiring has elicited mixed reactions from college football fans, with some optimistic about a brighter future for the team.
