Biography

Zac Robinson was named Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator on Jan. 29, 2024.

Robinson comes to Atlanta after spending five seasons (2019-23) with the Los Angeles Rams where he served in a variety of roles, including quarterbacks/passing game coordinator (2022-23), assistant quarterbacks coach (2019; 2021) and assistant wide receivers coach (2020).

In 2023, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 326-of-521 attempts (62.6 percent) for 3,965 yards, 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions for a 92.5 passer rating and earned Pro Bowl honors for the second time in his career. Stafford ranked in the top 12 among quarterbacks in completions, passing yards and touchdown passes.

With Robinson as passing game coordinator, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua recorded the most receptions (105) and receiving yards (1,486) by a rookie in NFL history, earning second-team AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. Nacua also set the NFL record for most receiving yards by a rookie in a playoff game in NFL history with 181 yards against Detroit.

In 2022, the Rams started four different quarterbacks due to injury; however, Stafford completed a career-high 68 percent of his passes before being sidelined. Robinson was instrumental in onboarding mid-season acquisition Baker Mayfield, who led the Rams on a game-winning drive against the Raiders despite joining the team only two days prior. Under Robinson's tutelage, Mayfield completed 82-of-129 passes for 850 yards and four touchdowns in five games for Los Angeles.

Robinson served as assistant quarterbacks coach in 2021, working with the newly acquired Stafford, who finished the season ranked in the top five in passing yards (4,886), passing first downs (233), yards per attempt (8.13) and touchdown passes (41), matching his career high. Los Angeles' passing attack completed the third-most completions of more than 20 yards in the NFL with 65 en route to a victory in Super Bowl LVI.

In 2020, with Robinson serving as assistant wide receivers coach, Rams wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Robert Woods led the team with 974 and 936 receiving yards, respectively. Los Angeles' offense finished 11th in total yards per game (377) and 13th in passing yards per game (250.9).

Robinson began his NFL coaching career as assistant quarterbacks coach for the Rams in 2019. He was influential in the continued growth of quarterback Jared Goff, who became the first quarterback in franchise history to pass for more than 4,000 yards in consecutive seasons.

Prior to joining the Rams, Robinson served as a senior analyst for Pro Football Focus where he was one of the site's primary pro and college quarterback evaluators dating back to 2016. Following his professional playing career, Robinson began giving instruction to college and NFL quarterbacks in 2014. He received his first coaching opportunity in 2015 as an instructor at The Quarterback Ranch in Southlake, Texas, where he led college and NFL instruction for the renowned quarterback development camp.

Robinson was originally selected by the New England Patriots in the seventh round (250th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. In addition to New England, he also spent time with the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals.

As a three-year starting quarterback at Oklahoma State, Robinson finished his collegiate career among the all-time offensive leaders in program history, compiling 8,317 passing yards and 88 total touchdowns, including 66 through the air.

A native of Littleton, Colo., he was named an All-Colorado selection at quarterback while competing in both football and track at Chatfield Senior High School. Robinson, and his wife, Mia, have a daughter, Madi, and a son, Cooper.
