Joe Robinson has left Louisiana State to become North Carolina's defensive line coach, according to LSU.

Robinson worked the past three seasons for the Tigers as special teams coordinator and assistant defensive line coach. He replaces Brian Baker and is the Tar Heels' fourth defensive line coach since the start of the 2010 season. Charlie Coiner and John Blake also held the job during the season.

Robinson has worked mainly as a special teams coordinator in college stops at LSU, Arizona, Central Florida and Houston. The Tigers' special teams were instrumental in their season-opening 30-26 win over the Tar Heels on Sept. 4.

"Joe Rob did a great job coaching our special teams in his three years with us," LSU coach Les Miles said in a statement released by the school.
