Doug Williams: 'No one is exempt' in Grambling's struggles

GRAMBLING, Louisiana — Doug Williams has seen the highest of highs both at Grambling and in the NFL.  Right now, however, his Tigers are about as low as they can go.

“I almost didn’t come today,” Williams said with a laugh to begin his Monday news conference. “I’m trying to run away. Then I realized, tough times don’t last. Tough people do. So I decided to show up. I think I’m one of those tough people. I almost have to be under these circumstances, I’ll tell you that.”

Undoubtedly, Williams finds himself in a tough situation.

His Tigers, the preseason Southwestern Athletic Conference Western Division favorite, are 0-6 as they prepare for Saturday’s homecoming game against Virginia-Lynchburg.
