Seemed a great hire when we got him, but it’s like he’s disappeared into a black hole since then. Recruits don’t mention him, despite him being recruiting coordinator. I don’t recall Emery or T. Davis indicating he was a big part of their decision - that was all O. Our RBs since he got here have been OK, but were just as good or better prior. How do we justify all the $$ he’s getting.

Recruiters recruit areas not positions. Yes they speak to their position coach but that doesn’t mean that they are their primary recruiter.

I thought running backs last year were pretty good. Yes Guice is a great back but Darrell Williams took a step and became a NFL running back. This year LSU had a 1000 yard rusher with almost zero returning production from last year.

RC is an administrative position. They can still recruit but they organize and supervise.

Yeah, like he didn't get two top 10 RB's in the nation to sign with LSU. Including the #1 RB according to Rivals. Not to mention the 4-star QB who won the Alabama state title over the Alabama recruit in their championship game. The LSU signee happens to be from Tommie's home town.

Do idiots need something to cry about so desperately that they try to pick on a coach who has the top recruiting class per position in the nation?

frick off a-hole.

Hello:

RUSHING GP Att Gain Loss Net Avg  TD Long Avg/G Nick Brossette  13 240 1107 68 1039 4.3 14 50 79.9 C. Edwards-Helaire 13 146 677 19 658 4.5 7 47 50.6 

Do you see us consistently in Alabama all of sudden on prospects? Back up RB from Alabama, QB this year and LB this year. That's all him and he has L. Fournette primed to contribute next year.

This point is incredibly misunderstood by this board.

And good day to you too, sir. All I know is that Frank Wilson and O (as recruiting coordinator) seemed a helluva lot more personally involved with recruits than this guy. Where are the quotes from Emery about TR, recruiting coordinator and RB coach, being the guy that got him here? O is the one who did that work.

My perspective is the same DCW...Frank played more of an active role in recruiting than Robinson appears to do/or not do

He was hired to watch O's back to make sure no assistants backstab him like O did to Miles.

Ahh good ole Ree. Someone ask a question and he responds by hurling insults. Some things never change.

You say that,, but being RC doesn’t mean you stop recruiting or are excused from recruiting.

O and Frink Wilson were top end recruiters on top of being recruiting coordinators.

Just saying “well is really an administrative position” seems convnenient now that our R isn’t our top recruiter.

No one on this staff can just be a supervisor. Because there are people out there who can do both.

coach with NFL and big program experience. From gulf south so knows the area. Les Miles actually tried to hire him but couldnt get him away from UT. They were friends long before O knew Robinson

He got LSU recruiting in Alabama. LSU is recruiting more in Alabama lately than Bama is in Louisiana.

He will possibly head to the NFL this year.

Don't look too deep into parish beating tua his team was just way better. Tua is alot better than Parish I've watched them both play multiple times. I hate that cause I hate bama just stating facts.
