After Texas A&M officially fired Jimbo Fisher on Sunday, Nov. 12, associate head coach Elijah Robinson quickly took over the head coaching postion in the interim role, as his experience, coupled with his vast popularity among the locker room and the coaching staff, garnered tremendous support as soon as his promotion was announced.
On Monday, Robinson spoke to the media in his first press conference of the season to discuss the handoff while thanking Jimbo Fisher for all he had learned over the past five years. Focusing on the players, Robinson’s steadfast leadership and love for the University has not only excited the fan base for the last three games (including a bowl game) but fired up the roster to give it their absolute all to finish the season on a high note.
A popular man this week, Robinson sat down with Voice of the Aggies Andrew Monaco during Wednesday’s “Aggie Football Hour” to dish on everything from Texas A&M Football to his career path if coaching wasn’t his immediate calling. Here is everything Elijah Robinson had to say on Wednesday night.
