It’s been a poorly kept secret since like October that he was gonna be leaving the staff. Think it’s a good move for all parties.

“Fired” isn’t how I’d put it. The rumors going back to the fall were that he was heading to the NFL.

I think there were a good many unhappy coaches working for Coach Barfight.

He wasn't going to be renewed in March. This has actually been known and expected. Interviewed with South Carolina before hand as well. Y'all stay getting LSU coaches

Said by the guy who follows the program that has a fired Aggie coach as their OC and the former Aggie AD as their AD.

Feel however you want about the hire but if you choose to believe everything coming out of Baton Rouge then that's your prerogative.

I've maintained all along that Ed O isn't the easiest head coach to work for and stand by that. There's a reason Raymond - an LSU lifer - has reached out to A&M twice and it hasn't just been in an effort to get a raise. Same with Aranda jumping into the mix before Fisher closed out Elko at Notre Dame.

So you can believe that LSU was so fired up about promoting Kevin Faulk, an LSU legend but one who has never been on the recruiting trail or been a college position coach, that they 'pushed Robinson out' or you can believe that Tommie was looking around, which was why he at one point appeared South Carolina-bound and ultimately landed at A&M. Muschamp was hoping he could make the hire but the Gamecocks were unable to close. And rumor out of Baton Rouge is that Orgeron actually did try to counter-offer the Ags in the last couple of days but it wasn't enough to keep Robinson on the Bayou.

Folks, this will be a he-said, she-said in which you'll have to choose to believe what you want. What I don't get is the folks who have seen what Jimbo Fisher and A&M are capable of in terms of hire yet still default to always 'believing the other side.' We have some on here who will voluntarily buy the Purple and Gold narrative from fans, message board fanatics and LSU insiders simply 'because.' Many of the same folks who were miserable and skeptical throughout the run towards the nation's No. 6-ranked class in the 2020 recruiting race.

It's from an article by a guy who is a douche, but he was right about Coley and McKinnley Jackson and is as plugged in as one can be when it comes to hirings and firings of coaches at A&M.

And is also responsible for appealing to the fan base.

That's all that matters. Robinson is a good pick up for TAMU and Faulk is going to be good for LSU. Both sides come out looking good.

Drop your irrational hatred. Wasn't it you who mocked him about three months ago when he said that A&M was in very good shape with McKinnley Jackson, despite the fact that the national recruiting sources were in the dark about that fact?
