I know he was interested in getting into "front-office stuff" but that just does not seem to fit with what he is all about and what he can do best.

His return to the sidelines is a good move for him and for Grambling State University. I really hope he pursues coaching/teaching as his life's work from here on out. He is a winner and a very good person.

Doug is [imo] all that you describe. This is what he had to say about going back to coach at Grambling. [quote]

"I was looking forward to working with the Destroyers, but this is a great opportunity for me and it is very rare that a father gets to coach his son at the college football level,'' said Williams, who was inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Atlanta. "I went to school there, I coached there and now I have a great opportunity to coach there again.'' [unquote]
