BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Doug Williams doesn’t usually do humble.
The man has been a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and MVP, is in the College Football and Black College Football halls of fame, and in seven seasons during two stints as Grambling’s coach led his alma mater to four Southwestern Athletic Conference championships and three black college football national titles.
But that was before 2012. An improbable SWAC championship season in his first year back at Grambling in 2011 was followed by a 1-10 debacle last fall.
It wasn’t as though the Tigers were constantly outclassed. There was a 56-0 trouncing by TCU, sure, but five of Grambling’s losses were by seven points or fewer. That included a 24-17 loss to eventual SWAC champion Arkansas-Pine Bluff and a 38-33 loss to archrival Southern in the Bayou Classic.
