Olivo spent the last three seasons (2023-25) at his alma mater, Missouri where he served as the team's special teams analyst.

In his final season at Missouri in 2025, Olivo helped develop freshman kicker Robert Meyer, who stepped up after the Tigers' starting kicker suffered a season-ending injury in the season opener. He connected on 10-of-14 field goals (71.4 pct.) and 36-of-38 extra point attempts for 66 total points. Meyer earned SEC Freshman of the Week for his performance in the SEC opener against South Carolina.

In 2024, Olivo helped coach kicker Blake Craig to an AP All-Bowl Team selection after he tallied 24-of-34 field goals (70.6 pct.) and 36-of-37 extra points (97.3) in 2024 recording 108 total points. He became the first freshman in program history to surpass 100 points in a single season. Craig tied for first in the SEC and fourth nationally in field goals made.

In 2023, Olivo mentored senior kicker Harrison Mevis, who was named second team All-SEC in 2023 after converting 24-of-30 field goal attempts (80.0 pct.) and making 45 extra points for a total 117 points scored. He set the SEC record for the longest field goal in a game (61 yards) and set program records for career field goals made (86) and career points (405) at Missouri.

With Olivo's assistance, Cordarrelle Patterson tallied 28 kickoff returns for 825 yards (29.5 avg.) and one touchdown in 2019. He led the league in kick return yards and ranked second in kick return average, earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl nods.

In 2018, Olivo mentored return specialist Tarik Cohen who led the NFL in punt return yards (411) and was selected to the Pro Bowl. The Bears delivered a strong season that year as they finished 12-4 and won the NFC North.

Olivo spent the 2017 season with the Denver Broncos where he served as the special teams coordinator.  He helped develop rookie return specialist Isaiah McKenzie who was selected by the team in the fifth round (172^nd overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Before his time with the Broncos, Olivo spent three seasons (2014-16) with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he served as assistant special teams coordinator. He worked with a unit that was among the best in the league as they scored seven touchdowns – three punt returns, two kickoff returns, one fumble return on a kickoff and one fake-punt rush –with five different players. The Chiefs ranked second in the NFL in both punt return average (11.5 yards per return) and opponent punt return average (6.1 yards per return) from 2014 to 2016.

In 2016, Olivo worked with Tyreek Hill in his rookie season with the Chiefs. Hill returned 39 punts for 592 yards (15.2 avg.) and two touchdowns along with 14 kickoff returns for 384 yards (27.4 avg.) and one touchdown, earning him consensus first-team All-Pro honors. Punter Dustin Colquitt also earned his second Pro Bowl recognition after pinning the second-most punts inside the 20-yard line (38) in the league.

Prior to his time in Kansas City, Olivo spent two seasons (2012-13) at Coastal Carolina where he led the running backs room and assisted with the special teams unit. The team advanced to the FCS playoffs in both of his seasons on staff.

In 2012, the Chanticleers averaged 199.2 rushing yards per game ranking 24^th in the FCS. In 2013, the team ranked eighth among FCS schools averaging 252.1 rushing yards per game. Over those two seasons, running back Lorenzo Taliaferro rushed for 1,729 yards (6.3 avg.) and 27 touchdowns, setting multiple school records.

Olivo spent one season (2011) in the UFL with the Omaha Nighthawks as the running backs coach.

Olivo began his coaching career in Italy, where he spent five years. He coached the Bologna Warriors for two seasons (2007-09), serving as an assistant on offense and special teams. He spent three seasons (2009-11) with the Italian National Team as the head coach and offensive coordinator. During that time, Olivo also spent three years with the S.S. Lazio Marines, a Serie A1 football team in Rome, serving as the head coach, offensive coordinator and special teams coordinator.

Prior to his coaching career, Olivo spent four years (1998-2001) playing for the Detroit Lions as a fullback and special teams standout and one year playing for the S.S. Lazio Marines in the Italian Football League (2002). He led the Marines to the first championship semifinal game in program history.

Olivo played running back at the University of Missouri, where his No. 27 jersey is now retired and he was enshrined into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in May of 2025. He set the then-school record for career rushing yards with 3,026 and led the team in scoring in three consecutive seasons.
