Travaris Robinson has made the decision to remain at the University of Georgia, turning down an enticing offer from Alabama's new head coach, Kalen DeBoer, to become the Crimson Tide's defensive coordinator, according to sources at 247Sports.

Having joined Kirby Smart's coaching staff at Georgia just last Friday as the co-defensive coordinator and safeties coach, Robinson's skills as both a coach and recruiter made him a highly sought-after candidate for the defensive coordinator position at Alabama. However, in a surprising turn of events, Robinson has chosen to stay with the Bulldogs.

Robinson brings a wealth of experience to the table, having spent two seasons as the cornerbacks coach at Alabama before making the move to Georgia. His extensive background in the SEC, with previous coaching stints at Florida, Auburn, and South Carolina, has further solidified his reputation as a seasoned and knowledgeable coach.

Sources have revealed that Robinson played a crucial role this season at Alabama, taking on the responsibilities of the primary defensive play-caller. This revelation came to light when Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin publicly stated that Robinson was calling the plays, a claim that was initially denied by defensive coordinator Kevin Steele and former Alabama head coach Nick Saban. However, insiders within the program confirmed Kiffin's assertion, acknowledging Robinson's involvement in directing the defense.

It was reported that Robinson had expressed an interest in replacing Steele as Alabama's defensive coordinator in the event of Saban's retirement. However, with Saban's announcement to continue coaching, Robinson made the decision to accept a position at Georgia under Smart's guidance.

DeBoer, recognizing Robinson's prowess as both a defensive strategist and recruiter, made a convincing effort to entice him back to Alabama, hoping to capitalize on his expertise. Despite the allure of a return to Tuscaloosa, Robinson ultimately chose to remain loyal to Georgia and declined the offer from the Crimson Tide.

Robinson's decision to stay with the Bulldogs is a significant boost for Georgia, solidifying their coaching staff and maintaining continuity on the defensive side of the ball. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, they can rely on Robinson's experience and expertise to bolster their defense and continue their pursuit of excellence in the SEC.
