Texas A&M completes coaching staff with hire of DL coach from Baylor
The Texas A&M Aggies once again have a complete coaching staff under new head coach Jimbo Fisher after some recent turnover.
According to Texas A&M insider Billy Liucci, the Aggies have hired a DL coach away from a former Big 12 rival.
As you can see in the tweet below, the Aggies are bringing in DL coach Elijah Robinson from Baylor, who is heralded as a great recruiter:
Fisher once again closes out his staff with addition of Baylor assistant Elijah Robinson. Outstanding recruiter who did a tremendous job of developing talent for Matt Rhule at Temple.

Shortly after learning of the news, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule, who has worked with Robinson since their Temple days, wished his former assistant the best of luck in College Station:
I am sad but grateful for all of the time I spent with @CoachE_BU. He did a great job for us at Temple and here at Baylor and I want to wish him all the best as he starts this new chapter in his career. #SicEm

The former Big 12 rivals don’t play on a yearly basis anymore, but now there will be some animosity between the two teams.
As they go head-to-head on the recruiting trails, it’ll be interesting to see if Robinson can steal some players away from his former team.
