Christian Robinson joined the Auburn football coaching staff in January 2022 as the Tigers' linebackers coach and defensive run game coordinator. Robinson spent the previous four seasons as linebackers coach at Florida, where he helped the Gators finished seventh nationally in scoring defense in 2019. That season the Gators were among the tops in the SEC in numerous defensive categories and were third nationally in red zone defense.
Among the linebackers he coached at Florida include NFL draft picks Jonathan Greenard and Vosean Joseph, as well as Ventrell Miller and Mohamoud Diabate. Miller led the Gators in tackles in 2020, while Diabate had the most tackles among all Gator defenders the last two seasons.
Prior to his time in Gainesville, Robinson was a graduate assistant at the University of Georgia (2013-14), Ole Miss (2015-16) and Mississippi State (2017).
At Ole Miss, Robinson worked with the defensive line, helping tutor 2015 Hornung Award finalist and first team All-American Robert Nkemdiche, who was taken in the first round (29th overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. Rebel defensive linemen combined for 24 sacks that season, led by a school record-tying 10 from sophomore Marquis Haynes.
A Norcross, Ga., native, played at the University of Georgia from 2009-12, playing in 51 games with 17 starts as a linebacker, compiling 159 tackles, 22.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks. He was a part of back-to-back SEC Eastern Division title teams in 2011 and 2012.
Robinson began his coaching career at his alma mater in 2013 as a defensive graduate assistant and quality control assistant. During the two-year span (2013-14) he spent in Athens, Ga., the Bulldogs led the SEC in turnover margin and ranked among the nation's best pass defenses in 2014.
Robinson earned a bachelor's degree in sports management from Georgia in 2012 and attended mini-camp with the St. Louis Rams before pursuing a coaching career.
