Robinson, a 53-year-old Alabama native, was named 247Sports’ No. 2 recruiter in the nation for the 2017 class and the top-ranked recruiter in the Pac-12. He spent 2016 and 2013 with the Trojans, stints sandwiched around a two-year stay as running backs coach at Texas. Robinson worked with Orgeron at USC in 2013, the year that program fired Lane Kiffin and employed Orgeron as interim coach.

Joseph, a former Archbishop Shaw star and Nebraska quarterback, may land his first major college job. He has coached receivers, quarterbacks and special teams at various smaller colleges and historically black schools, including Grambling (2014-15), Alcorn State (2013), Central Oklahoma (2004), Nicholls State (2001-03), Alabama State (2000) and Tulane (1999). He replaced Juluke at Louisiana Tech last year.
