About Greg Robinson (American football coach)

  • Gregory McIntosh Robinson (born October 9, 1951) is an American football coach and former player.
  • Robinson served as the head football coach at Syracuse University from 2005 to 2008.
  • He has served as an assistant coach with several other college football programs and for three teams in the National Football League (NFL): the New York Jets from 1990 to 1994, the Denver Broncos from 1995 to 2000, and the Kansas City Chiefs from 2001 to 2003.
  • With the Broncos, Robinson was a member of two Super Bowl championship teams.
  • In more recent years he has served as the defensive coordinator at the University of Texas at Austin, in 2004 and for part of the 2013 season, and at the University of Michigan, from 2009 to 2010. Robinson was hired as head coach of the Syracuse Orange football program in January 2005 after the firing of head coach Paul Pasqualoni, who had been Syracuse's head coach since 1991.
  • On November 17, 2008, with the Orange reeling from their fourth straight losing season under Robinson and their only double-digit losing seasons in program history, it was announced that Robinson would be fired from his coaching duties at the end of the season.
  • He finished his tenure with a 5–37 record overall, the worst record for a non-interim coach in the history of the program, and a 2–25 record in Big East Conference play. Early in the 2013 season after the Texas Longhorns suffered a 40–21 upset loss to BYU, allowing a record rushing yardage total, defensive coordinator Manny Diaz was replaced by Robinson.
  • Robinson had been serving as a video analyst for Texas at the time of his hiring.
