The LSU football team experienced its second coaching change of the offseason Thursday, as special teams and defensive-line coach Joe Robinson resigned.
Robinson left the program to become defensive-line coach at North Carolina, multiple outlets reported.
“[Robinson] did a great job coaching our special teams in his three years with us,” said LSU coach Les Miles. “We wish Joe and his family great success in their future endeavors.”
Robinson, who graduated from LSU in 1985, coached at his alma mater for three seasons and won National Special Teams Coordinator of the Year honors from FootballScoop.com in December.
LSU finished in the top 15 nationally in punting, punt returns, punt-return defense and kickoff returns, spearheaded by Southeastern Conference Special Teams Player of the Year Patrick Peterson.
Peterson led the SEC in punt-return average (16.1 yards) and kickoff return average (29.1 yards).
