“We’re going to do things that are going to allow those guys to have fun, play with juice and energy, and understand that it’s going to be okay,” Robinson promised. “The players are the most important.” “As a staff, we will collaborate and implement the necessary changes to ensure those guys have a great few weeks and play to the best of their abilities,” Robinson continued.
After joining Fisher at College Station in 2018 as the defensive line coach, Robinson was elevated to the position of assistant head coach and coordinator of the run game in 2022.
“They’re prepared to announce what comes next at this point. That was their way of thinking. Robinson continued, “I will always be appreciative to all the guys in that room and how they welcomed me when the news came out.
