Matt Robinson comes to the Raiders after spending the past five seasons with the Baltimore Ravens (2021-25), working with the outside linebackers in 2025 and assisting the defensive line in 2024. In 2023, he was a defensive quality control coach after originally joining the Ravens in 2021 as a defensive coaching fellow.

In 2024, Baltimore's defense allowed the NFL's fewest rush yards per game (80.1), yards per rush (3.6) and opponent rushing first downs (69), while also ranking No. 2 in both sacks (54) and QB hits (115). OLB Kyle Van Noy (12.5) and Odafe Oweh (10) each set career highs in sacks and became the first pair of Ravens teammates since 2014 (Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs) to each record double-digit sacks in the same season.

In 2023, Robinson served as the defensive quality control coach, primarily working with the defensive front. Baltimore's defense became the first unit in NFL history to lead the league in points allowed (16.5 ppg), sacks (60) and takeaways (31). Sixteen Ravens defenders registered at least 1 sack and contributed to the unit's league-leading and franchise-record-tying 60 QB takedowns. The defense featured three players with 9-plus sacks (DE/OLB Jadeveon Clowney, DL Nnamdi Madubuike and Van Noy).

Robinson worked primarily with the defensive backs in 2022,  who contributed to the NFL's No. 3 unit in points allowed per game (18.5) and defensive red zone TD percentage (46.4). He tutored CB Marlon Humphrey as he made his third-career Pro Bowl after finishing as one of two DBs in the NFL to record at least 3 INTs and 3 sacks. S Kyle Hamilton earned PFWA All-Rookie honors after becoming one of three DBs to post at least 5 QBHs and 5 PD.

In 2021, he joined the Ravens as a coaching fellow, assisting with the outside linebackers. The Ravens' unit ranked as the No. 1 rush defense (84.5 ypg) and No. 3 third-down defense (34.8%). Robinson helped coach Oweh to a team-high 3 FFs and 2 FRs, who joined Suggs (2003) as the only Ravens in team history to produce at least 5 sacks, multiple FFs and multiple FRs in their rookie campaign. The Ravens ranked No. 1 in rush defense (84.5 ypg) and No. 3 in third-down defense (34.8%).

Prior to his Baltimore arrival, Robinson coached for four seasons (2017-20) at the collegiate level with Maryland (2019-20) and Connecticut (2017-18). In 2020, Robinson served as the defensive quality control coach for a Terrapins' defense that averaged 2.8 sacks per game, the second-best mark in the Big Ten. He joined his alma mater as a graduate assistant in 2019 and tutored LB Keandre Jones who posted 15 tackles for loss (seventh in the Big Ten) and team highs in sacks (7), FFs (3) and QBHs (3). He began his coaching career at Connecticut in 2017, where he served  as a defensive graduate assistant for two seasons.

A native of Columbia, MD, Robinson played collegiately at the University of Maryland, appearing in 39 games over five seasons (2010-14) for the Terrapins, seeing time at both defensive back and linebacker. He totaled 198 tackles (127 solo), 14.5 tackles for loss, 0.5 sacks, 1 INT, 13 PD, 4 FFs and 2 FRs. He earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a master's degree in supply chain management.
