Elijah Robinson? Terry Bradden gone

So during the season, someone took over DC, and that moved him down?
Must have been a mess.
Yeah, that's certainly possible. But then there's the question of, we don't have an opening for a D Line coach. Very unorthodox to be publicly shopping for a coach when the position isn't even available. So what's the message to Bradden? We're keeping you...unless we can find someone better, then we're replacing you. Never mind the fact that I guess we haven't technically announced Rob Aurich as DC yet. So, is it possible that Aurich fell through and Elijah Robinson is being looked at for DC? And of course, the fact that the Toledo guy, who we at least know interviewed, goes to Syracuse over us which just seems weird, and it's supposedly because we wouldn't let him bring his guys, but now we are looking at one of the guys at Syracuse. It's just all seeming pretty messy. Feels like Rhule is playing a game of whack-a-mole.
Robinson I think has settled at his competence level. He’s a great recruiting DL coach. He might never get another shot to be a DC. He has multiple opportunities now I’m sure. Well have to over pay to get him IMO.
The head coach is responsible for the hiring and firing of assistants. Not the OC and DC. That means it's the head coach that determines the level of independence for anyone on his staff.
Also, the Google machine tells me that as of 17 hours ago, Robinson had not signed his contract. How close are Rhule and Robinson?
Or one guy coaches DTs and the other DEs. Tom had two O line coaches and I think Carl split D line duties with someone.
I have an idea. Maybe we can see how this all plays out first before praising/criticizing the move? I have my doubts that we will land him, but if he is as good as advertised, then hiring him can’t be a bad thing.
might be more about perceived status and location.So, everyone should stop posting what they think about this...as you go on to tell us all what you think about this? Lmao
If this is true then why did Syracuse rank 100th in sacks and 97th in rushing defense?
In an NIL World where 5-Star kids are getting paid millions, DONU can't afford NOT to pay top shelf coaches top dollar... it's the haves vs the have nots... I hate to always go back to the comparison but look what Cig did with 3 star kids "last year"... if Aurich can do that overall on the defense and Robinson can do his thing on the DL then the Blackshirts might just have something to earn the Skull & Bones moniker again... NO ONE Fears the Nebraska Defense... I want that SUH mentality back with opposing dudes sitting in Ice baths wondering WTF just hit them...
No, he was demoted on Dec 3rd
from Syracuse? no.
their 2nd leading sack man is a 220 pounder who was playing TE in their spring game. still listed as a TE on their roster.
Statts contract expires the 31st take money from his contract and get Robinson, statts not worth 1plus millions
A good Defensive line coach is worth paying for. Especially if u wanna be a developmental team. OL and DL are two spots u don't pench pennies on imo.
Holla
I'd be more disappointed about this if he had any recruits but alas. Didn't think they gave him much to work with and not really anything coming in to say 'here's why you should keep him around'. Meh. Best of luck to him.
The fact that Bradden was with the Chiefs for 8 years and was still only an Assistant D-Line Coach was a red flag. He had never been in charge of a unit before. Hopefully this means that Robinson is on board.
You want us to consistently have one of the best D-Lineman in college football history. Got it.
He held the same position Donnie had with the Bears. It’s essentially the NFL’s version of a GA.
While I agree we should give these new guys a chance, these changes are necessary due to Rhule's own hiring mistakes. Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for the next round of coaching busts.
