BASTROP, Louisiana -- When Thomas Wolfe wrote the famous line, “You can never go home again,” in his 1929 novel, ‘Look Homeward, Angel,’ he obviously hadn’t met Doug Williams.Now in his third stint at Grambling, Williams keeps coming back to his alma mater. A former Tigers’ quarterback who went on to NFL stardom, Williams recently completed his first season of his second term as the school’s head football coach. To Williams, the words of his mother, Laura Williams, ring more true than Wolfe’s literary quotation.
“I never said I wouldn’t come back home, but I never thought I would be here for a second run (as head coach),” Williams admitted Thursday night while attending a function of the Morehouse chapter of Grambling State University Alumni at the Bastrop Municipal Center. “My momma always said, ‘Mysterious things happen.’”
