Robinson had been with the Giants only after a five-season stint as Baltimore Ravens outside-linebackers coach under Giants head coach John Harbaugh. He received permission to speak with Las Vegas and accepted the Raiders’ offer this past Sunday, effectively elevating his responsibilities from the D-line to the entire secondary.
The Giants publicly supported Robinson’s pursuit of the Raiders opportunity, despite the typical caution around changing roles shortly after a staff rollout. With Robinson’s exit, remaining Giants assistants who could assume D-line duties include quality control coach Brendan Clark or defensive assistant Megan Rosburg, who Harbaugh has called his “most valuable coach.”
Harbaugh emphasized the importance of a shared vision and high standards when assembling a coaching staff, noting the need for coaches who can demand excellence while supporting players. The Giants’ coaching staff adjustments come as Klint Kubiak, appointed Las Vegas head coach, inherits his first NFL staff after taking over from Pete Carroll, following Super Bowl LVII-related changes.
