Robinson would break into the NFL coaching ranks in 2019 with the Rams and coach Sean McVay. After three seasons as an assistant—including serving as Jared Goff’s assistant QB coach—Robinson was promoted to passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022-23, and then left in 2024, following then-Rams’ defensive coordinator Morris to Atlanta to serve as his offensive coordinator.
Known for running a West Coast scheme (similar to the Lions) that adapts to their players and utilizes multiple run blocking schemes, Robinson should be able to adapt to the Lions playbook quickly. His familiarity with Goff also gives him an added layer of familiarity that many others on this list don’t possess.
