Wonder if Fran Brown will pull for Elijah Robinson as D-line coach. Robinson currently at Texas A&M. Camden native, coached at Temple, went to Baylor with Rhule and Brown. Robinson got a 4 star DL to Temple when he was there.

Robinson has 4 star DL from Richland, NJ Isaiah Raikes committed:
and Camden DE Fadil Diggs:
Greg and Fran should make Elijah and offer he can't refuse. He's making $575,000 at Texas A&M.
A&M had a lousy season this year.

I hope it happens but having had the opportunity to be on that campus for training it won’t be easy. Football players are gods in Texas and it’s the SEC. Kyle field is impressive and it’s a beautiful campus. Can you imagine what $575G a year buys you in Texas?
This is just like Hafley being talked about in the past. A&M is paying their coach 75M over 10 years and their DC 2M+ unless he has some hankering to come home or we offer some upgrade in title not sure you get him and most likely won't be because of money...we can't outbid these type of schools it has to be some other angle that makes it realistic.
I'll get 2 season tickets and give them to my son so he can use them during football season if all three happens. This would be a coup.
Housing costs are not dramatically different. Seems you need to spend upwards of $425K to $550K to get a decent house in College Station.

Property taxes are much lower and there are no income taxes. In our experience, however, after living in two low cost of living areas (Western NY and Cincinnati, OH), there was no place like New Jersey to us, and we sucked up the higher cost to be back in Jersey and all that it has to offer in terms of pork roll, attitude, and proximity to beaches and two major cities where we could find anything we wanted.
I’m not one who plays up the whole cost of living thing like others do here I’m just talking about straight salary and these big money bags programs can match and beat anything we give...it has to be a different angle to be realistic whether it’s hankering to come home or better title and responsibility. I agree with you...QOL matters but there’s no way for any of us to know what’s going on in a guy’s head.
It has to be one of those Gary Andersen Wisconsin to Oregon State type deals but how often does something like that happen.
I agree. Everyone is different. I offered our experience just to show that sometimes people just want to be closer to home, regardless of cost and salary. I can remember living in Western New York in a huge house that costs us like 10 cents, and saying to my wife--it sucks around here, and what use is this nice house when there is nothing to do when we leave the house?
Nichols needs to start hanging out with Schiano on the recruiting trail. With NINE MILLION people and hundreds of high schools, the size of our band looks like something you would expect from Southern Utah.
Knightshift, if you were in Upstate New York, you must have been very close to the outdoors, skiing,hiking,fishing,hunting,kayaking,camping,etc. Unless those are not your interests.
Not really. Not near skiing. Camping not our thing. Hiking was not so great. Area was devoid of soul. I like Jersey. And Arizona.
Yeah but we know GS is going to be here for a long time while Jimbo can lose his job next year. I would take the job security if I were mr. Robinson
575g's buys a lot of barbecue and bullets in Texas . If we offer a little more we can fly those things up here for him.

A lot of people must love living there. Texas is now the second highest state in population—approaching 30,000,000. Only California has more people.
Delaware and Rhode Island have more people per square mile than California.
prolly a link above leads to this.. but.. here it is..
For a DL coach? Or is he a recruiter of more than DL?575g's buys a lot of barbecue and bullets in Texas . If we offer a little more we can fly those things up here for him.
I had no idea Temple University changed their name.
UT!
Well according to the article posted in the other thread salary/title might be sticking points. Salary should be a forgone conclusion but have to wonder about how it might compare to Brown if you pay a lot to Robinson. Might need some equity there. Title was one of things that I thought might be a factor/lynchpin and seems like that might be the case.
Also if AC is on the table (with 5 recruits possibly considering flipping according to the article) and Robinson is seeking a better title....how does that reconcile itself. Seems like it would be hard to get both then. I suppose AHC/position coach is something that could be given to Robinson and then DC to AC but not sure if that's satisfactory enough for him.
If you have to make a choice, I'd go with Robinson...make him and Brown co-DCs with Brown calling the plays. DLs are hard to recruit as @koleszar pointed out and if Robinson has a history of recruiting good ones that's a premium especially competing in the B10.

i am curious. other than the tax and the cost of living, what do you like about TX?
i now have 2 extended families in TX. they love it too but mostly because of cost of living.
Excellent point. We know Schiano is a DB kinda guy and played LB in college. For his man coverage schemes , which he loves, a good pass rush is mandatory. When you cannot get to the QB even bad QBs can look like they are wearing a green jersey and hitting everything in a scrimmage.
New Jersey had you at pork roll.
Just saw in a NJ.com article Brown's salary is going to be 2 years at 1.15M so 575K per year. If he doesn't get the coordinator title, which they said could still be added, that's the highest we've ever paid for a position coach. How's that translate to what Robinson might get offered as he's already making 575K..don't know
