Report: LSU Is Expected To Hire Elijah Robinson As The Tigers New Defensive Line Coach

It has been reported that LSU head coach Lane Kiffin is hiring Syracuse defensive coordinator Elijah Robinson as his new defensive line coach.

Football Scoop first reported earlier this week that Kiffin was targeting Robinson for the role. Now, it sounds like the deal is done.

Robinson will likely replace first-year interior defensive line coach and LSU alum Kyle Williams next season.

It has been reported that edge rushers coach Kevin Peoples will be back next season, along with defensive backs coach Corey Raymond and safeties coach Jake Olsen.

Robinson has been Syracuse's defensive coordinator for the past two seasons but was demoted this week by head coach Fran Brown. Syracuse went 3-9 this season.

Before his time at Syracuse, Robinson worked under Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M from 2018 to 2023 in various roles. He served as interim head coach for the final two games of the 2023 season after Fisher was fired. Here's a look at his coaching bio:
