Elijah Robinson to Texas A&M

[Cusefan69]

So how long do we wait to hear about our new AHC/DC and if Nick Williams gets a promotion to all dline?

Stay in your lane

Probably a good move on his part. He knows Fran will take care of him if Kiffin screws him over provided he does not try to poach any of our players.
Good for SU because it frees up more money for assistant coaches.

Boooo. He's a good dude. Find the right role for Elijah. Make it work.

Too many reasons against him staying as others have said. If you’re just going to be a DL coach and recruit, LSU will pay more for that role than we are able (or should do IMO).

That's fair. The flip side is that Elijah might have a better chance of becoming an HC if he stays in the NE.

Maybe he's not HC material, who knows, but he'll be buried in the SEC. Either LSU wins and Kiffen gets all the credit or they underperform and the whole staff gets canned. Not a lot of stability there.

He's got a sure thing career-wise as SU's DL coach/recruiter and maybe some NE school will take a shot on him down the road.

something tells me the DL talent at LSU will make him look like a way better coach than the DL talent he had here.

He'll literally have the #1 recruit in the country in his DL group. The top 4 guys in the LSU class are all stud DL.

If he’s still looking to advance his career beyond position coaching he needs to focus on learning what he needs to in order to succeed at coordinator level. Depending on who Fran hires for DC, ERob could in theory have done that here, but it’s best that he reset elsewhere I think. Back to school for now, so to speak.

I think the positives outweigh the negatives by a hair. I hope the staff took what they could out of ERob. Do they need more of a coach or a recruiter at this point? They have to coach up these 3s but also want 4s. It really depends on who Fran tags at DC and DL coach now. Not worried about recruiting with Fran.

 

[upperdeck]

We used to know pretty well who the lead recruiter for each player was. Do we even know of that anymore? It seems much more like Fran is hands on more than any coach we have had in a while .

Better scheme results matter more than recruiting for us I think. Feels like if we can just get to OK D we can find a way to beat teams if we have a QB

 

[richmondcuse03]

I’m not sure Elijah would make a good HC. He doesn’t seem outgoing and vocal enough given what you need. If he wants to run his own program one day he may need to go down a level. But it’s unlikely he gets that chance unless he proves himself as a coordinator first. Fran was an unusual path.

Does LSU really need help in recruiting?

 

[storange]

Good Luck Elijah wish you the best !

Does LSU really need help in recruiting?

This is going to sound mean but it’s not intended to be….the answer is no but what other path could ERob go if not to be a “recruiter” at a big factory school in the south? Play calling as a coordinator did not go well. Maybe he could be a HC, but does he have the outgoing personality for it? I’m sure he is a great mentor and can definitely bring in talent but it’s not like he would be able to bring in that level of talent to a non-SEC school. I think it’s a good, safe, move for him. All the best.

 

[Cuse House]

We got our wish, now get the next hire right. Hope E-Rob has success in his future. Fran was able to do this without firing him.

 

[swish7]

Camden Tough has joined the creepy pervs staff. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

'By a hair'?
Our D was very, very bad under his leadership. Beyond time to move on.

If they hire all the top recruiters, it takes them away from their competition.

 

[CooperCuse]

I don't really follow recruiting much, did Robinson recruit all that well here? He certainly wasn't a good defensive coordinator. Good luck to him at the Lane Kiffin Football Factory Circus..

I’m not sure if he was the lead recruiter for these guys, but based on offers alone this is the highest rated Dline haul in Syracuse history. Haskell, Wilson, Rodgers and Houston all had great offer sheets.
