""I just see him as a guy that failure's not an option,""
"" He's gonna win. I think I have a pretty good gut and read on people and I couldn't have more conviction in coach Chesney.""
""I went to UCLA, I'm proud of that," said Roberts, an outfielder who graduated as the school's all-time stolen bases leader, "and I just felt that with my role in Los Angeles, there's some opportunities and I've also got some experience and understanding of the university, understanding of the city of Los Angeles and felt that as an alum, I could add some value. I'm all in on trying to revive this football program, and I feel like I want to do my part to help out in any way I can.""
UCLA hired Bob Chesney on a five-year, $33.75-million contract to revive its football program with assistance from Dodgers manager and alumnus Dave Roberts. Roberts participated informally in the coaching search by speaking with candidates, speaking with Chesney three times, and exchanging regular text messages during UCLA's courtship. Chesney is leaving James Madison after guiding the Dukes to the College Football Playoff. Roberts, a former UCLA outfielder and the school's all-time stolen bases leader, expressed strong confidence in Chesney's ability and commitment to winning and restoring the program's competitiveness.
