Greg Robinson, the Broncos’ defensive coordinator on their back-to-back Super Bowl teams in 1997-98, passed away in California on Wednesday, his son told the Syracuse (N.Y.) Post-Standard.
Dominic Robinson said his father, 70, died from a form of Alzheimer’s disease.
During a four-decade coaching career, Robinson spent six years (1995-2000) coaching for the Broncos under Mike Shanahan.
Robinson’s defenses finished among the top 10 in fewer points and fewest yards allowed three times apiece. In 1997, the Broncos were sixth in points and fifth in yards, followed by finishes of eighth and 11th, respectively, in 1998.
