From my interview with Dave Roberts yesterday ...
Again, us and the LA Times were the only ones who got him this week, as I understand it. The Times went Tuesday and I sat down with him yesterday.
He says something extraordinary would have to happen for him to make a decision on Clay Helton's future and he "couldn't envision that circumstance." He seems to indicate Helton will be evaluated and his fate decided after the season by the new AD. As to the hypothetical of who makes the call if a new AD isn't identified by then, there wasn't a clear answer -- maybe an indication of his confidence that the new AD will indeed be in place. Though a hypothetical timeline he threw out obscures the need to have a decision before the early signing period.
