Baylor University

Roberts was the head football coach at Baylor from 1997 to 1998. Roberts ignited controversy in 1997 when, after a loss to Texas Tech, he stated in a post-game press conference that he had told his players that "they were about as bad a football team as there is right now in America", ["Roberts should be more careful with comments." http://www.baylor.edu/Lariat/news.php?action=story&story=11110] drawing the ire of the Baylor faithful. Following the 1998 season, that saw the Bears go 2-9 for a second consecutive season, he was fired by athletic director Tom Stanton. He had previously served as the offensive coordinator under Lou Holtz at Notre Dame. After being fired by Baylor he rejoined Holtz as an offensive assistant at South Carolina. He later went on to serve as the head football coach at North Carolina A&T.

Since 1956, Roberts is the only Baylor head football coach other than Grant Teaff to beat the University of Texas, doing so in 1997.
