ORLANDO, Florida (Oct. 18, 2013) -- The Orlando Oak Ridge football team will be under the direction of its third head coach in six games, and fourth in six months, Friday night when Elijah Williams takes over as the Pioneers' coach.
Williams confirmed the hiring Thursday afternoon. He will lead Oak Ridge against East River.
Williams, who guided Oak Ridge to a 30-14 record in four seasons as the head coach, left this past spring to take on the position of running backs coach and recruiting coordinator at Florida A&M in Tallahassee.
The Oak Ridge program has gone through a topsy-turvy change in command during the first two months of the school year and it's a situation to which school officials are hoping to bring a bit more normalcy by bringing back Williams.
The coach happened to be in town this week to deal with a family matter and had dropped by the school for a visit. During that visit the possibility of him returning was presented by school officials.
Williams, who coached at Oak Ridge from 2008-2012, the first year being as an assistant coach, will also regain his former duties as girls basketball coach for the Pioneers.
