NEW ORLEANS — Former Grambling quarterback and coach Doug Williams said Sunday that he interviewed Saturday for the vacant coaching position at Southern University.

Williams, who is Director of Pro Personnel for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the NFL, confirmed the two-hour, off-campus meeting with Tony Clayton, Chairman of the Southern University System Board of Supervisors, prior to the Bucs game against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon in the Superdome.

“There was no resolution,” Williams said. “We talked about the goals for the programs and all the things that need to be done. Southern University is a very good job and for me it’s chance to stay home.”

I wonder what his feelings are on participating in the playoffs (insert photo of his Super Bowl ring here________;))

We'll see how this turns out xreadx

[813Jag]

kdinva, I don't think his views have changed since he left Grambling. Nice try though xlolx

Southern really needs to hired defensive minded coach...

Pete was.. xcoffeex

[SU Jag]

The alums were talking about doug taking the job back in october. The SU job is one that Doug really wants to take from everything I've been hearing. Coach Rich was a defensive minded coach but for the past few years our defense hasn't been the " dawg-day defense" that SU fans saw in the past.

[TexasTerror]

Doug would be a great hire...

It would give the 'new' Prairie View A&M a chance of having a legitimate rival for the 'crown' in the SWAC West. Really think that as long as HF3 and HN stay together, the Panthers will be tough to top going forward...

Well that's the kiss of death for PV because we know how most of your predictions turn out.

[GeauxColonels]

How would hiring a former GSU player and coach go over with the Jaguar community?

Wouldn't really describe you as a winner. xcoffeex

[JagHammer]

How would hiring a former GSU player and coach go over with the Jaguar community?

Depends on how he conducts himself and if he could get some more W's and championships in the record books.

But that would all be in hindsight. What's the feeling before he steps into the role (if, in fact, he does)? You see such a heated rivalry, and I just would think that many Jag fans wouldn't be comfortable with the choice. Just as if any Bama fans would hate an Auburn player/coach taking over. Or the same situation for Michigan/Ohio St.

[Zangzigger]

I think that Williams' resume would be attractive to the alumni and boosters.

[DG Cowboy]

SU may not want Doug. He played both ends of the McNeese home and home when he coached the GMen.

[3rd Coast Tiger]

I'll put it out there...

Doug has went on record saying he could care less against playing the SLC.

[McNeese72]

SU may not want Doug. He played both ends of the McNeese home and home when he coached the GMen.

Then I think he was quoted as saying he didn't want to play us or the SLC teams again. Don't remember the exact quote or the circumstances.

On second thought, scheduling Sammy the last few years wouldn't have been a bad idea. xlolx

Doug has made his views on playing certain schools and the playoff's known based on shat he went through when he played college ball at GRAM.

DON'T GO THERE.................... xnonox xeekx xnonox

It is very understandable why he could care less about the SLC. His record against the conference is somewhat less than outstanding. xlolx

He was certainly a much better player than he is a coach.

[Mr. Tiger]

xrolleyesx His all-time record was 1-2 against the SLC. And he beat several non-conference I-AA/FCS teams during his tenure. And he went 10-2, 11-0, and 11-2 from 2000-2002. Carry on...

[SU Jag]

Yeah mr.tiger, I read that post and I'm still trying to figure out what tha fugg dude is talking about. Doug has won as a coach everywhere he has been, from the high school level, to morehouse, to grambling.

[Syntax Error]

Nah. I think he doesn't like the SLC because of your history and how you people segregated yourselves, back in the day of course lol. xlolx I'm not his speaker but I seem to vividly recall it's something along those lines. I may be wrong so someone can correct me if I am.

Doug more or less basically said why should we play them now?

They didn't want to play us "SWAC teams" back then so why should we help them increase their home attendance averages now?

Talk about working the technicalities ... GSU lost to Alabama State on the field but they pick up the win via forfeiture.

Do you expect anything else from the SWAC??? xlolx

So the SWAC should not follow NCAA rules when they take game's away from teams that are being penalized.
Some of ya'll need to think before you post.
A little reasearch instead of taking TT's word would have revealed that little bamma State "win".


Do you expect anything else from the SWAC??? xlolx

I take it your not the sharpest on this subject either.
How do people that try and act like they know so much about the SWAC come in making statements like these. xlolx
I get a good laugh here every day.xlolx

Delaware State's forfeits a conference game to play non conference Michigan Wolverines for a $500K payday? xconfusedx

This should look familiar to many around here in what I'm saying...

He felt that way long before GSU played you guys. It goes back to the days when he played ball and none of you (inparticular McNeese) would play in State HBCU's, neither would any of the other schools in your conference.

That ought to be clear enough for you to understand since you do know Louisiana history and certain past culture.

I was merely responding to the dispute over the forefit of ASU that gave GSU the 11-0 season.

And before someone goes off on me or the MEAC, there isn't a history of us [MEAC] bailing out of OOC games. Only Del. State did it and yes, A&T got their money from the fiasco.

Okay SWACKOS??? xthumbsupx

TRUTH ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. I tried to tell'em. xlolx That type "feeling" seems to be somewhat paramount amongst quite a few SWAC schools. It is... what it is. :D

[SU Jag]

From what I'm hearing from "the bluff" the jon is pretty much Doug's to take or turn down.

Sorry I grew up in Texas and am not a product of the so called "culture" you are referring to. I was never impressed with DW's coaching skills. Curiously, it appears his winning seasons at Grambling mirror the career of Bruce Eugene and then he hauled tail after the "Chuck and Duck" days were over.

Interesting that he more than naught had those views when he left college huh? xlolx Considering the racial climate during that era. :D

His views are more common than uncommon though. Has nothing to do w/ losing to any entity as your entities were terrified to play SWAC entities back in the day because your squads would've gotten steamrolled unmercifully. :D Truth is a mutha isn't it? :D

Right the shoot um first ask question later, stop um because they're driving to fancy of a car or drag um at the back end of a truck until they're decapitated state.

Sure you have no idea of what I'm referring to. xcoffeex

[blackcaesar3k5]

IF I recalled, Southern hired legendary Marino Casem from Alcorn State back in late 80's.. We all know Casem was very unsuccessful during his stint as head football coach at SAMU.. This is reason why I'm against Southern hiring Williams......

Darrell Asberry has done an excellent job since taking over as head football coach at SU.. Asberry had won back to back CIAA titles and will probably bring great offensive system and Perez Boluware to run the defense...

[SU Jag]

I like asberry too! He pretty much brought shaw's program back to life. The fact that stump mitchell's name is still out there worries me a lil bit. When I see stump mitchell all I see is the bayou version of james bell.

Casem had two stints at Southern going 7-4 twice and 5-6 the second time which was the year before Pete took over. I didn't really know going 19-14 was unsuccessful. xconfusedx
