Robb Smith reportedly out as defensive coordinator at Rutgers
Robb Smith’s second stint at defensive coordinator for Rutgers is now over.
The Scarlet Knights did not renew Smith’s contract and there will be a new defensive coordinator for the team in 2022, according to James Kratch of NJ Advance Media. Smith is expected to be named Duke’s defensive coordinator this week per the report.
Duke recently hired Mike Elko as its new head coach. During the 2019 season, Smith served as a defensive analyst for Texas A&M, while Elko was the defensive coordinator. This has not been made official yet but an announcement is expected to come in the near future.
