- John Robinson, was announced that he has been re-hired as football coach at
- USC, at a news conference at Heritage Hall this afternoon. He was the top
- candidate almost immediately after Former-Head Coach Larry Smith was forced
- to submit his resignation earlier this week. Robinson stated," This is a great
- privlege and honor to have the opportunity to come back home to SC. I'm looking
- forward to get back to work and get the program back to where it's supposed to
- be".

- Robinson who joined the SC family as a assistant coach under John McKay in 1960
- was head coach previously for the Trojans from 1976-1982 before taking an
- exexcutive position at the University for a year before joining the LA Rams.
- Robinson is the last coach at SC that has beat Notre Dame & UCLA, won a Rose
- Bowl and won a National Title in the same year (1978). Robinson's last victory
- at SC was a victory over Notre Dame in '82 and haven't beaten them since.
