UNC hires Robinson from LSU as D-line coach

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina has hired LSU's Joe Robinson as defensive line coach.

Robinson spent the past three seasons with the Tigers coaching the defensive line and serving as special teams coordinator. He worked previously with Tar Heels defensive coordinator Everett Withers at Southern Mississippi in the 1990s.

Robinson replaces Brian Baker, who left after a month to become an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys. Baker had replaced John Blake, who resigned in September after his friendship with NFL agent Gary Wichard became part of the NCAA investigation into the UNC football program.
