On Saturday morning, Georgia announced the hire of Alabama defensive backs coach Travaris Robinson to be the Bulldogs’ co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach.
Robinson spent three seasons in Tuscaloosa as Alabama’s cornerbacks coach. In 2023, many believed he was a co-defensive coordinator for the Crimson Tide although it was never made official. Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin stated he was preparing for Robinson to call Alabama’s defensive plays when the two teams faced off during the 2023 season.
Robinson is not only a great coach but a great recruiter as well. He helped Alabama land Caleb Downs, Jaylen Mbakwe and Dezz Ricks. His presence will be missed immediately as Alabama begins its search for a new cornerbacks coach in wake of the news.
