OK....right now on my twitter feed there is a tweet from Sean Callahan claiming Angus McClure has come to an agreement with UCLA to stay there. When I click on it, Twitter says the tweet doesn't exist.
So.....something is going on but not sure what.

One down. 9 to go
UCLA has to go through their board of regents to approve contracts so it slowed the process down to get the ok to give him the raise to keep him at UCLA.

Elijah Robinson
http://owlsports.com/staff.aspx?staff=532
Elijah Robinson begins his third season as defensive line coach for the Temple Owls. In 2016, he added the responsibility of Defensive Run Game Coordinator.
Robinson’s impact on the defensive line has been apparent and immediate. During the 2015 season, the Owls recorded 33 sacks, including a season-high 10 in the win against Penn State. Robinson once again saw his players recognized, as DT Matt Ioannidis and DE Nate D. Smith were named first-team All-Conference. Smith led the team with 7.0 sacks for 47 yards, while Ioannidis ranked in the top three for TFLs with 10.5.
In the first four games of the 2014 season, four touchdowns were scored by the defensive line. The team had nine sacks and 21 tackles for loss.
By season’s end, Ioannidis and DE Praise Martin-Oguike were making every All-Conference list. Ioannidis notched 47 tackles and a team-leading 11.0 TFLs while Martin-Oguike’s 7.5 sacks were the most by an Owl since 2010.
Robinson, a Camden, NJ, native, came home to Philadelphia after spending the previous ten seasons with Penn State.
The former Nittany Lion defensive tackle transitioned into coaching when his playing career was cut short after suffering a neck injury during spring practice in 2007. Robinson graduated from Penn State in 2008 and joined the PSU staff as a graduate assistant coach one year later.
His primary responsibilities were assisting Larry Johnson in coaching the defensive line and preparing the offensive scout team from 2009. In 2011 he was promoted to a full time coaching position. Then in 2012 when Bill O’Brien took over as head coach, Robinson became Penn State’s director of player development and NFL liaison. In that role he would organize scouting visits, orchestrate Pro Day, develop community service initiatives and serve as the football team’s liaison with admissions, compliance, housing, and academics.
Robinson earned All-State and All-South Jersey honors at Woodrow Wilson High School, leading the team to a 15-0 record and a state championship in 2002.

Coaching under Larry Johnson is pretty noteworthy, no? Isn't he considered a top recruiter and player developer?

There is a 2 year gap between coaching at Penn State and coaching at Temple. Not sure what it implies but that might explain the lateral move as James Franklin was hired in 2014
Yeah, I was confused on that as well. On that page it shows a gap. But in an article I found about him being hired at Temple it said he was at Penn State "last year."
But you're right that it would make sense that he simply wasn't retained by Franklin.

I just read it again. In 2012 he was taken off of the coaching staff at PSU under O'Brien and put in an administrative role.Yeah, I was confused on that as well. On that page it shows a gap. But in an article I found about him being hired at Temple it said he was at Penn State "last year."
