[gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] [SUN]: UF keeps Robinson on staff with counter offer, raise

I think he'd be crazy to go to Michigan, right now. Jim Harbaugh is on his last leg with them.

UF keeps Robinson on staff with counter offer, raise

The Gainesville Sun

Florida linebackers coach Christian Robinson has decided to remain on staff after landing a job offer from Michigan, The Sun has confirmed. 

FootballScoop.com first reported last Friday that Robinson was planning to leave for Ann Arbor, a move that was confirmed by The Sun and multiple news outlets. However, the hire had not been finalized at the time. 

Robinson was formally offered by Michigan over the weekend after it officially hired defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald, who worked with Robinson at Georgia. But according to Football Scoop, Gators coach Dan Mullen countered Michigan's offer by offering to raise Robinson's pay. 

The Sun has yet to confirm the amount, but Mullen was able to keep Robinson at UF. Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh announced two hires Wednesday night, completing his defensive coaching staff. 

Robinson received the biggest raise among UF assistants last year, getting an extra $175,000 that put his 2020 salary at $290,000. He is considered one of Florida's better recruiters, landing five-star linebacker Derek Wingo in the 2020 class and recently signing top-100 overall recruit Jeremiah Williams and four-star linebacker Diwun Black, the nation's No. 1 JUCO prospect.

Mullen has one more opening on his defensive staff after retaining Robinson. UF parted ways with secondary coaches Ron English and Torrian Gray earlier this month and replaced one of them with former Auburn assistant Wesley McGriff.
