John Robinson, who coached his signature run-oriented USC football team to a national title and the Los Angeles Rams to two NFL conference championship games, has died

Robinson led USC for seven seasons, winning four Rose Bowls and maintaining the Trojans' winning tradition, before coaching in the NFL and later returning to USC.

He expressed satisfaction with his career by stating, 'You always think, 'God, I could have done that better.' But, you know, you have to be satisfied with what you did.'

Known for his easygoing manner, Robinson was described as 'cheerful as a sunrise,' contrasting typical football coaches with a more personable and accessible demeanor.

After retiring in 2004, Robinson returned to USC as a fundraiser and consultant, demonstrating his enduring commitment to his alma mater and the sport.
