BATON ROUGE – John Robinson, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and longtime head coach at Southern Cal and the Los Angeles Rams, is joining the LSU football staff as a senior consultant to head coach Ed Orgeron, the university announced on Monday.
Robinson served as head coach at Southern Cal from 1976-1982 and then again from 1993-97 when he led the Trojans to the 1978 national title and to five Pac-10 championships.
