I never met Coach Robinson but I felt like I knew him well. My mother attended Grambling in the 60’s and she always talked about how much Coach Robinson cared about the students and their rights. So when I attended Grambling in the 80’s, I got a chance to witness his burning passion for the game of football, his committment to the players and the GSU family. Everytime I step foot in the Superdome for the Bayou Classic, I can’t help but to think of Coach Robinson. Coach Robinson, your legacy will live on through the many lives you have touched.

May God comfort the Robinson Family in their hour of need…

I never personally met Coach Robinson, nor did I attend Grambling as a college student, but I attended many of Grambling’s football games both at the University and New Orleans. My heart was touched as I watched the services via streaming video of the many lives he touched and the impact he had on so many, but most of all the family man he was and the loved they say he had for Mrs. Robinson. She has such a beautiful memory to hold dear to her heart and I hope I am able to say the same in my golden years. May God Bless and Keep the Robinson Family today and forever!

As a former student and alumni of Grambling State University I had many opportunities to observe “Coach Rob” both on and off the football field. I join the sentiments of others who have stated that he was more than a football coach. He was a very special man in many many ways. Around the G.S.U. campus “Coach Rob” always “wore” a smile. He was what I call a “people person.” Although he was a very busy man, he would take the time to speak and carry on a conversation. As I heard Representative Ricky Gallot state, “Coach Rob was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things.” These are also my sentiments. I will continue to cherish the “precious memories” I have of “Coach Rob” and I thank God for allowing me to have known him personally. Farewell “Coach Rob!” When all God’s children get together we shall meet again!”

My father, noted as all-american at Grambling College after the Korean Conflict played for Coach Rob in the early 1950’s. “Coach” mentored my dad as a coach and educator in Caddo Parish. I never knew why my father had such distinguished character. I made the decision to go to GSU after my father’s death in 1977. Coach Rob was one of the only faces that caught my eyes at the funeral that day. I could not hit the gridiron so I just made my four years as Cheerleader “on the yard” just as exciting! Thank you, for the care you gave me on and off the field. GSU 4 LIFEl

Coach Rob is what humanity and rightousness is all about. He was truly bigger than life, not only to those who knew his personally but to those who knew him from afar. I can remember when I took my sons to GSU to meet the legend. Because of who he was and what he stood for, they were speechless and one of them nearly passed out. Coach Rob graciously reached down and picked the little one and said, “Son it’s alright. Truly Coach Rob will be missed my many and never forgotten.
