In the release sent out by the school, the Tar Heels confirmed that head coach Butch Davis has hired Joe Robinson as his new defensive line coach. Robinson had spent the past three seasons as line coach and special teams coordinator at LSU. "Joe is a tremendous defensive line coach who has a well-rounded résumé with experience at several different positions," Davis said in a statement. "We had several outstanding candidates for the position and Joe was the best fit for our staff and players." "Joe is a great person and an even better coach," UNC defensive coordinator Everett Withers, who worked with Robinson at Southern Miss in the early nineties, said. "He does a great job with the kids, teaching them the fundamentals and helping them grow through the college experience. He is a great fit for this staff and will help our defensive linemen become better players." In addition to LSU and Southern Miss, Robinson has also been an assistant at Arizona and Louisiana Tech. Robinson will replace Brian Baker, who left the Tar Heels last month for a job with the Dallas Cowboys.
