Outside of the coordinators, special teams coach Joe Robinson will be the highest-paid member of Texas Tech’s football staff this season.
Part of that no doubt has to do with experience — Robinson. 55, is the oldest of the 17 assistants Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury’s hired in four years. But he also comes with a reputation for stellar special teams, an area in which Tech is looking for better all-around play.
