TALLAHASSEE, Florida  (Oct. 24, 2013) -- One day after Holmes said he expected running backs coach Elijah Williams to return to his staff, FAMU’s athletic department issued a statement saying that Williams has resigned effective immediately. The statement said Williams has a pressing family issue that requires his presence in Orlando.

“I brought him in to help our running backs, and thus far, they have performed well this season,” Holmes said. “At the same time, me being a family man myself, we discussed his situation and it is truly unfortunate. I support his return to central Florida to be with his family.

“It speaks volumes of his character to put his own dreams and aspirations on hold for the betterment of his family.”
