USC has announced the passing of John Robinson after complications from pneumonia.
John Robinson, the veteran football coach who enjoyed many years of success at the University of Southern California and with the Los Angeles Rams, has died. He was 89. The Rams on Monday confirmed the death of Robinson, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame for his two successful tenures at USC. He died in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, of complications from pneumonia, USC said in a release.
Robinson became John McKay's offensive coordinator at USC in 1972, coaching the unbeaten 1972 consensus national championship team and the 1974 team that went 10-1-1. Robinson left the Trojans for one year to join Madden with the Oakland Raiders, but returned to USC in 1976 when McKay took over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Robinson coached USC to seven outstanding seasons, winning the Pac-8 or Pac-10 titles and the Rose Bowl in three of his first four years in charge.
