Nevada Dawg No. 4 Share Posted November 12 I certainly did not realize John Robinson was ever Duck. As for the notable USC football coaches, Robinson was the one I liked best although I sometimes chuckled at John Mckay's sarcastic wit that often got under opponents' skin (particularly Notre Dame). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedknees No. 5 Share Posted November 12 Victim of OBD'S lack of vision inputting the Jerry Frei led program in the 1970's. Frei's tree produced multiple generational football coaches who were OBD assistants first. Who knows what could have been, with the right investment and vision? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John McKay was also a duck assistant before USC. The power of Casanova must have been great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck No. 7 Share Posted November 12 McKay, Madden, Robinson and even Seifert were part of a pretty amazing group of coaches, at that time, who came out of Oregon. Makes on wonder if we are seeing another group of coaches our younger Duck fans will ponder in the coming decades. Fortunately the truly great coach is our head coach this time! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 11 Share Posted November 12 Well Deserved Kudos from Trojans Wire. John Robinson, dead at 89, made an extraordinary contribution to USC TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM John Robinson won big. He won a lot of Rose Bowls. He was a great USC head football coach for all the obvious reasons. His legacy, though, is even more specific. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
