After graduation, Robinson started his coaching career at Truett McConnell, before joining Tony Ingle's staff at Kennesaw State, where he stayed until 2011. After five years on the staff of Bethune-Cookman, Robinson was named head coach at Alcorn State, taking over for Luther Riley.

In his first season with the Braves, Robinson guided the team from a ninth-place finish the seasons before to a second-place finish and 15–15 overall record. In 2016–17, Robinson was named SWAC Coach of the Year after another second-place finish for the Braves, and an 18–14 overall record.

In March 2020, director of athletics Derek Horne announced that the school would not renew Robinson's contract, ending his 5-year tenure at Alcorn State.[6]
