A description of his NFL background from the press release:

Defensive System Dominates

Prior to joining the Longhorns in January, 2004, Robinson spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he helped turn around a team that was 7-9 in 2000, the year before he arrived, into a unit that posted the second-best record in the NFL in 2003 (13-3). As defensive coordinator, Robinson's aggressive, attacking Chiefs' units produced 70 sacks and forced 68 turnovers (43 interceptions/25 fumble recoveries) in 2002 and 2003. During that time, Kansas City posted a 21-11 record.

In 2003, Robinson's Chiefs' defense produced 36 sacks (T-6th/AFC), 25 interceptions (2nd AFC/3rd NFL) and forced 37 turnovers (T-3rd AFC/5th NFL). Kansas City led the NFL in turnover margin with a +19 advantage in that category. In 2001, the Chiefs registered 34 sacks, 18 interceptions and forced 31 turnovers. They led the AFC and ranked third in the NFL in turnover margin that year.

Robinson established his reputation as a tremendous defensive coordinator in Denver, where he transformed a struggling defense into a Super Bowl Championship unit, serving as the architect of a defense that led the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl victories in 1997 and '98. After inheriting a club that ranked last in total defense in 1994, Robinson made an immediate impact in his first season with the team, as the Broncos finished the 1995 campaign ranked 15th in the same category. By 1996, he had turned Denver into the league's fourth-rated defensive unit, and by season number three in '97, the Broncos were on their way to the first of two straight Super Bowl titles.

During his stellar six-season stay in Denver, the Broncos made four playoff appearances and claimed back-to-back World Championships with wins in Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII, making them just one of six franchises in NFL history to accomplish a Super Bowl repeat. During that six-year span, the Broncos compiled a 64-32 (.667) regular-season record.

The Broncos ranked in the NFL's top 10 in total defense during three of Robinson's six seasons at the club's defensive helm, finishing seventh in '99 (297.1 ypg), fifth in '97 (291.9 ypg) and fourth in '96 (279.4 ypg). Denver's defenses were also stingy in the scoring column during his reign with the Broncos, producing three top 10 rankings in scoring defense — eighth in '98 (19.3 ppg), sixth in '97 (17.9 ppg) and seventh in '96 (17.2 ppg). The team's pass defense ranked among the league's top 10 in four of his six seasons with Denver, finishing eighth in '99 (188.5 ypg), fifth in '97 (179.3 ypg), 10th in '96 (196.2 ypg) and ninth in '95 (206.1 ypg). Denver's run defense ranked in the league's top 10 three times during Robinson's tenure. The run defense was highlighted when Denver led the NFL (83.2 ypg) in '97 and ranked third in 1998 (80.4 ypg).

The performance of Robinson's defense throughout the '98 playoffs was paramount to Denver's quest for a second straight title. The Broncos allowed opponents just 53.0 rushing yards per game in the postseason and forced a remarkable 13 turnovers in just three games. Denver allowed just 25 total points during that stretch.

Robinson joined the Broncos after a five-year stint with the New York Jets (1990-94). He coached the defensive line from 1990-93 and served as defensive coordinator in '94 when the Jets ranked eighth in the league by permitting just 20.0 points per game. Forcing turnovers and a stingy run defense were also a staple of Robinson's defenses in New York. During his last four years with the Jets, the defense forced 151 turnovers, most in the AFC and second most in the NFL during that span. They improved from 27th in the league in total defense in '89 to eighth in '93. New York's rush defense showed significant improvement, jumping to a fifth-place ranking (92.1 ypg) after allowing 133.5 yards per game in '89.
