Wow. Real talk from Awsi. He was an NFL coach too. I didn’t think he was still alive.One of the great phonies of all time. I could tell plenty of stories about him. He got up and walked out of his office at Heritage Hall when I had the audacity to ask him about a poor recruiting year, after he flirted with taking the Patriots job and other school used it against us. I refused to leave the office. I sat there for another 20 minutes until Robinson's secretary poked her head in the door and said I should probably go. I found out later from the sports information department that Robinson stewed around the corner for the full 20 minutes in disbelief that I was still sitting there.
Massive blowhard. He lied to me several times when I interviewed him for those Daily Trojan articles. Some of the other coaches would laugh at the things that Robinson tried to pass off as the truth. But the USC players loved Robinson. I'll give him that. He was a player's coach and they all swore by him.
