Prior to accepting the job in Atlanta, Robinson received interest from several other teams for their offensive coordinator openings, including the Las Vegas Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers, Chicago Bears, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints.
Robinson, 37, has spent the past five seasons in Los Angeles, serving as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2019 and 2021, assistant receivers coach in 2020 and quarterbacks coach and pass game coordinator the past two years.
Before his time with the Rams, Robinson worked at Pro Football Focus as a senior analyst, evaluating both pro and collegiate quarterbacks.
Robinson was a three-year starter at quarterback for Oklahoma State University, where he attended from 2005-2009, and was selected by the New England Patriots in the seventh round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
He also enjoyed brief professional stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals.
In Atlanta, Robinson will take over an offense that ranked No. 17 in total yards per game, No. 26 in points, No. 22 in passing yards and No. 9 in rushing yards.
Turning around the offense is Robinson's responsibility - but for now, he's focused on dad duty and managing the logistics of a cross-country move.
