GRAMBLING, Louisiana - There are a couple of simple reasons why Doug Williams will be on the Grambling State sideline Saturday night, beginning his ninth season as its head coach - or the third season in Doug Williams Coaching Career 2.0, as it were."Love. Loyalty," Williams says.

That's not a pretentious statement. That's just how deep in his soul this historic university and football program runs.
Of course, to many, Doug Williams IS Grambling, almost as much as coach Eddie Robinson, the legend whose name adorns the football stadium and whose memory remains cherished and deified. Williams played quarterback at Grambling, then went to the National Football League. He was the history making Washington Redskins' QB in 1987, the first black starting quarterback to start a Super Bowl.
