Overview

  • OSU retained TurnkeyZRG to run the search after firing Mike Gundy early in his 21st season, and multiple reports say Robinson is expected to figure prominently.
  • Sources cited by NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport say Oklahoma State has not contacted Robinson as of the latest reporting.
  • Former Cowboys star Dez Bryant publicly urged OSU to hire Robinson, boosting an alma-mater push for the Falcons coordinator and ex-OSU quarterback.
  • Hiring an active NFL coach could force a December recruiting workaround, with precedent for a dual-role transition like Charlie Weis’ move to Notre Dame in 2004.
  • Robinson’s candidacy is drawing added scrutiny as Atlanta’s offense struggles, including a 30-0 loss and a shift to calling plays from the sideline in Week 4.
