7 HEAD FOOTBALL COACH STEVE ROBERTS Not long after leading Arkansas State to the 2005 Sun Belt Conference championship and New Orleans Bowl, head coach Steve Roberts continues to make ASU a dominant force in the Sun Belt Conference and has ASU on track for continued success in the upcoming years. When the 2005 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year took over the program in December 2001, he impressed everyone with his wide-eyed enthusiasm and limitless energy. And, most of all, they believed that Roberts would bring success to the ASU football program. Roberts has been the driving force behind ASU s recent success, leading the football program to its most victories over a seven-year span since Roberts came to Arkansas State University and brought with him a fresh enthusiasm, energy, and an I Will philosophy that has been adopted by everyone associated with the program. I Will became the rallying cry as Roberts and his staff charged ahead through a grueling 13-game schedule in 13 weeks with no open date in his inaugural season and came within 11 points of winning the Sun Belt Conference championship and playing in the Sun Belt Conference prize the New Orleans Bowl. ASU ended the season with a record of 6-7 and finished third in the league rankings. That tied the most wins since rejoining Division I-A in The Red Wolves finished in the top ten turnarounds by Division I-A football schools for improving football records after finishing 2-9 in Also, attendance increased significantly in The 2003 season saw a lot of success as well. Among ASU s many achievements was another increase in attendance, two defensive linemen ending up in the National Football League and the team winning the Sun Belt Conference Academic Award. Under Roberts direction, ASU continues to add to the achievements that began upon his arrival. The 2006, 2007 and 2008 ASU teams backed up the 2005 Sun Belt championship with non-conference wins over teams such as Army, Memphis, SMU and Texas A&M. The 2006 squad knocked off New Orleans Bowl champion Troy and the 2007 team fell to then-ranked No. 4 Texas by just eight points and pushed New Orleans Bowl champion Florida Atlantic to the final minutes. Last year s victory over the Aggies was one of the biggest wins in school history as ASU picked up its first victory over a BCS conference school since joining the FBS. The 2006 team posted six wins for the second consecutive year, marking the first time since the 1986 and 1987 seasons that the Red Wolves had recorded at least six victories in back-to-back seasons. The 2007 team won the Sun Belt Conference Academic Award, marking the fourth time in the last five years ASU had earned the honor. The 2007 squad posted the second most yards of total offense in school history only to see the 2008 team break the 57-year old record. The 2007 and 2008 ASU defense also ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the Sun Belt Conference Arkansas State Football 7 AStateRedWolves.com

8 Roberts already holds the fifth most wins among ASU s 26 all-time head coaches and has led the Red Wolves to a 27-8 record at ASU Stadium, which included a 4-1 record in During his tenure, ASU has upgraded its facilities with a new training room, weight room, locker room, recruiting room and state-of-the-art ProGreen turf on the field. Roberts was named Arkansas State s 26th head football coach on December 21, 2001, to bring full circle his coaching odyssey from his home state through Louisiana and back. But, the trek has been a successful one, including an 8-4 record and national ranking in Division I-AA in 2000 at Northwestern (La.) State. Roberts spent two seasons at NSU, where he and his staff and team took on a tough schedule which included a overtime upset at TCU. While at NSU, Roberts was a finalist for the Eddie Robinson National Coach of the Year Award. Prior to going to NSU, Roberts served as the head coach and defensive coordinator at Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia from While there, his 1997 team won the Gulf South Championship, earning him Gulf South Coach of the Year honors. The Muleriders finished with a cumulative record of 26-5 from , including 9-1 in 1999, 8-2 in 1998 and 9-2 in During that span, his teams enjoyed top conference rankings in scoring offense, scoring defense, total offense and total defense. At SAU, he also served as the defensive secondary coach and recruiting coordinator from before being named head coach. Academically, his program ranked first in academic achievements in the Gulf South Conference three seasons. Roberts, an avid fisherman, graduated from Robinson High School in Little Rock. A 1987 graduate of Ouachita Baptist University, where he was an Academic All-American, Roberts received his masters from SAU in He and his wife Sherri have one daughter Abby (15). ROBERTS ASU HIGHLIGHTS Roberts has led Arkansas State to its most victories over a seven-year span since Already holds the fifth most wins among ASU s 26 all-time head coaches Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year.

ASU had 11 players named all-conference last season, its most ever as a member of the SBC. ASU placed 10 players on the list in 2002, 2005 and 2006 and nine in Roberts has coached a Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, two Defensive Player of the Year winners and a Newcomer of the Year.
