After the dismissal of Mike Gundy as head coach at Oklahoma State, speculation arose regarding potential candidates for the position. Among them was Zac Robinson, the Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator. The 39-year-old Robinson is well-acquainted with Oklahoma State, having played there under Gundy from 2005 to 2009.
Zac Robinson’s Coaching Journey
Robinson has built an impressive coaching career since entering the NFL in 2019. He started with the Los Angeles Rams as an assistant quarterbacks coach. Over time, he advanced to the role of passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022. His career took a turn when he followed Raheem Morris to Atlanta after Morris was appointed as head coach.
Potential Candidate for Oklahoma State
In a recent press conference, Robinson was queried about whether he had been approached by Oklahoma State regarding the head coaching vacancy. He opted not to comment on the matter, stating, “I’ll kind of leave that. But just honestly, I’m focused on today and progressing this week.”
Falcons’ Season Performance
Currently, the Falcons hold a record of 2-2 following their bye week. Last season, under Robinson’s leadership, the team ranked No. 6 in total yards and No. 13 in points scored. However, their performance this season has shown some challenges, placing them at No. 7 in yards but struggling at No. 26 in points through the first four games.
