Here is the official release from the USC athletic department as we welcome back national championship winning head football coach John Robinson:
A familiar face has returned to USC athletics.
John Robinson will assist USC's athletic development staff in outreach efforts throughout Orange County and San Diego.
"We're excited to have John back among the Trojan Family," said USC athletic director Pat Haden. "He has always been a popular figure with our fans and we know he will be well received as he works with our donors in the Orange County and San Diego areas."
As USC's head football coach, Robinson guided the Trojans to the 1978 national championship and into 8 bowl games. He won 74.1% of his games (104-35-4) during 2 coaching stints spread over 12 years at Troy (1976-82 and 1993-97), recording more victories than any USC gridiron coach except John McKay and Howard Jones.
He is a member of the College Football, Rose Bowl and USC Athletic Halls of Fame.
This is actually Robinson's fourth stop at USC. He he was an assistant coach for 3 seasons (1972-74) as Troy won a pair of national crowns.
He also served as the head coach of the Los Angeles Rams (1983-91), twice advancing to the NFC title game, and at UNLV (1999-2004), and was an assistant with the Oakland Raiders (1975) and at Oregon (1960-71).
Most recently, he did analysis on college football national radio broadcasts and spent 2010 as an assistant coach at San Marcos High in North San Diego County.
