This comes to be as Ron Roberts coached LBs. So Robinson takes this position. Powledge will handle the safeties as DC (very common for coordinators to handle a position group) since Ronnie Wheat coached the safeties. Not sure how ST will go but would think Powledge will have a role but not full time.

WACO, Texas -- One of the top young defensive minds in college football, Christian Robinson has been tabbed to coach Baylor's inside linebackers, as announced by head coach Dave Aranda on Friday morning.
Robinson joins the Baylor staff after coaching linebackers at Auburn during the 2022 season, following four seasons in the same position at Florida. He also served as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State (2017), Ole Miss (2015-16) and Georgia (2013-14). Robinson played linebacker at Georgia from 2009-12.
"We are excited to welcome Christian and his wife Kaley into the Baylor Family," Aranda said. "Christian is one of the top young coaches in the country, who's commitment to relationships, and the success of the young men he coaches, on and off the field, is an ideal fit for our program."
A native of Norcross, Ga., Robinson was named to the American Football Coaches Association 35 Under 35 listing in 2022, highlighting some of the nation's best up-and-coming coaches under 35.
"It is an honor to join Coach Aranda's staff and represent Baylor University," Robinson said. "We look forward to supporting, encouraging and promoting excellence in everything we do. Life is about relationships and we are excited to foster those in our new home of Waco Texas. Sic 'Em!"
In 2022, while coaching linebackers and serving as the defensive run-game coordinator with Auburn, Robinson helped Owen Pappoe to a team-leading 91 tackles, including three for a loss with two sacks and two forced fumbles. Cam Riley ranked second on the team with 65 tackles, adding 3.5 for a loss.
Robinson coached linebackers in 2021 for the Gators, helping lead Florida to a fourth-consecutive bowl berth. During his four years at Florida, the Gators ranked fourth nationally in sacks, trailing only Alabama, Clemson and Pittsburgh. The Gators also forced 78 turnovers during Robinson's four-year tenure, 26th-best in the nation.
In 2021, the Gators totaled 37 sacks, ranking 30th in the nation, and out-sacked its opponents by +23 over the course of the year. The Gators improved defensively in points per game, first-downs allowed, third-down and fourth-down percentage, rushing, passing and total yards allowed.
