Robinson was arrested on suspicion of OWI after crashing his car in the early morning hours on April 15. The 33-year-old Robinson was suspended indefinitely by Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore.

Robinson was hired by Michigan in 2022 to serve as its assistant director of player personnel and had worked in that capacity for two years. He is best known for his time as Michigan’s quarterback from 2009-2012. He became famous for playing with his shoelaces untied, earning him the nickname “Shoelace.”

Robinson is the second Michigan coach to be arrested on OWI charges this offseason. The arrests cost both coaches their jobs.
