In your honest opinion, was Coach Robinson the best hire at this time? Also, how good of a recruiter is he? We need a great recruiter at defensive coordinator. I believe I read somewhere that he has a "dry" personality, which if true, would hurt recruiting, wouldn't it?

Thanks for the question and I hope this is not Coach Robinson himself … lol.
It is tough to judge if he was the best hire because we are not 100% sure who else was interested, who Coach Rod wanted, and who was available. In our opinion, he was the best choice out of all the names that were bandied about, and even out of the ones that were not realistic, such as former Michigan coaches and players.
Coach Robinson is a very solid pick with an excellent resume. Having been a defensive coordinator for three NFL teams and Texas is impressive. Having worked with Pete Carroll and Terry Donahue is a major plus as well. Coaches who have worked with him speak of him very highly.
As for recruiting, that is a tough call. In the last twenty years, he has had limited college experience to judge him by. At this time, we are less worried about our defensive coordinator's recruiting talents and more concerned with his ability to fix the defense and get staff pulling together in one direction. If he accomplishes that, then we will start to focus on other issues. That was our biggest complaint about with the defensive staff last season: how it was put together and how it was supposed to work with the competing differences in preferred schemes amongst the staff.
Finally, as for his personality, like most things some recruits will take to his "dry" style, and some won't. Most, probably, look for and take measure by a coach's honesty, integrity, and sincerity, rather than how sparkling or charming he comes across.
