Here's to you, Mr. Robinson!
For the first time since the regular season finale against Texas A&M, Texas Football has managed to excite me. More specifically, new UT Defensive Co-Ordinator Greg Robinson has me pumped up with expectations for the Horns this Fall.
Here are a couple of good articles on Robinson (CNNSI, ESPN1 and ESPN2). The first two focus more on Robinson's arrival at Texas, while the latter is more of a Q&A about defensive schemes.
All three are worth a look.
Most Texas fans moaned when Robinson came on board in January. He had just received a pink slip in KC after the Chiefs' D got torched in the AFC Division playoff game. After watching Texas cede big play after big play in their three losses last year, Robinson seemed like the least likely guy to turn things around.
But I like what I read. He's talking about mixing things up and a being aggressive, two things that the Texas D lacked in the past few seasons. Recommendations from Pete Carroll, Monte Kiffin and Dick Vermeil also give me hope that Robinson can come in and have an immediate impact, much like those three coaches have done in their careers.
