Georgia announces Travaris Robinson as co-defensive coordinator, safeties coach
Georgia has announced that former Alabama defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson has joined the Georgia football coaching staff as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.

not sure where that puts us, but I believe teams are limited to one head coach and 10 assistants that can work with players. nonetheless, sensed there was some friction there toward the end of the season......wouldn't surprise me at all if this is some sort of planned turnover, whether it was mutually agreed to or otherwise.
hope not, I like Muschamp.....but not surprising.
This is HUGE!!!
I have to say, even following Kirby all these years, I continue to be amazed at how frikkin' fast he and his staff can move on short windows of opportunity. That, as much as anything else, is a testament to why he and UGA will be a contender no matter how CFB morphs in the coming years.
Go Dawgs!!!
I assume this is sarcasm. I'm not saying he's not a good hire. But we already have two co-coordinators on defense, and Smart, Muschamp and Williams coaching DBs. Putting aside Robinson's qualifications, I'd say this is very surprising... barring another shoe falling....
I agree this is HUGE!!! I must have missed several things here. When did he quit his job at Bama and did Muschamp seek a different role? I hope this helps with recruiting……especially with potential transfers from Bama. Go Dawgs!!!
posted before I finished my thoughts, edited...see below.
Though it could be, this doesn’t necessarily mean Muschamp is going anywhere. After all they used the term CO Defensive Coordinator and Safties Coach.
I have no clue how well he can and will coach. I would think at least pretty good or Kirby wouldn’t have taken him on board. One would think this would help us in recruiting. Now let’s see how many More of Saban’s Coaches leave Bama taking their recruiting connections with them !!
As an alternative hypothesis I wonder if this is because Schumann is leaving and Will is taking over.
I noticed in an ESPN article this past Monday (before Saban retired) that Travaris was the “no brainer” choice on a list of candidates for the new Bama DC. Clearly he is a great coach and recruiter. Go Dawgs!!!
Schuman may have been biding his time til Saban retired in 2-3 years(or so he thought). Now that Saban has retired and a new coach has been named it probably speeds up his leaving time to find a headcoaching position elsewhere.
Washington?
The article said Muschamp is moving to an analyst role. It doesn’t say or imply that he’s going anywhere. Schumman probably won’t leave to do the same job anywhere else. That’s a lateral move, not a step up. Kirby might be grooming him to be head coach one day.
Welcome Coach Robinson and family. Go Dawgz. 😎
This whole college coaching change thing is like a big ol' chess match and elite coaches like Smart are countering what they see other coaches are doing and circumstances that can arise from different choices. Kinda like when Smart brought Bobo inhouse a year before Monken left. It's like Kirby is trying to stay 2 steps ahead of everyone else and doing a pretty good job with that.
Kirby playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. Hopefully this helps a defense that has struggled some the last year or so. Go Dawgs!!!
