John Robinson, standout coach for USC and Rams, dies at 89
LA TimesJohn Robinson, in white, reacts after a USC touchdown in 1997. John Robinson, who coached his signature run-oriented USC football team to a national title and took the Los Angeles Rams to two NFL conference championship games, has died. USC coach John Robinson is carried of the field after the Trojans’ victory over Michigan in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day 1977. “The theme would be: ‘Win one for the fat guy.’” USC coach John Robinson reacts on the sideline during a game against UCLA in 1996. “Whether I stay in coaching or not, I’m not sure.” Robinson returned to USC in January 1993, less than a month after former coach Larry Smith and the Trojans lost to Fresno State in the Freedom Bowl, which was played in Anaheim until it was discontinued after the 1994 season.
