Texas Tech football coach Kliff Kingsbury filled two of the several vacancies on his staff Monday, making one promotion from in house and hiring a West Texas native from South Carolina.
Tech announced the promotion of Emmett Jones to offensive assistant coach and hired Joe Robinson as special teams coordinator. Robinson is an Abilene native who’s spent four years at South Carolina, where he coached special teams.
“We are extremely excited to add Coach Robinson to our staff,” Kingsbury said in Tech’s announcement. “Every year, his special teams are among the best in the nation. He will provide invaluable expertise to not only our special teams, but our overall team.
