Texas A&M defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator Elijah Robinson will serve as the Aggies’ interim head coach after the program parted ways with head coach Jimbo Fisher, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Robinson became an assistant under Fisher’s coaching staff in 2018. In six seasons at Texas A&M, he has worked with the defensive line, the defensive unit and the Aggies’ run game coordinator.
Statistically, Texas A&M’s defense has been one of the best in the country this season. Through the Aggies first 10 games, Texas A&M ranked No. 12 in total defense (290.9 yards allowed per game), No. 1 in sacks (39) and tackles for loss (88), No. 9 in rushing yards allowed per carry (3.05) and No. 31 in scoring defense (20.4) per game.
