Williams was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1995 to coach the team's tight ends where he stayed from 1995 to 1996. He was shifted to coach the running backs in 1997. Williams had a big role in the drafting of running back Duce Staley. Williams had scouted Staley at the University of South Carolina and recommended the Eagles pick him with their third-round pick in the 1997 NFL Draft. Staley went on to have a stellar career with the Eagles, accumulating 4,807 yards on 1,200 carries and 22 touchdowns along with 275 catches for 2,498 yards and 10 touchdowns.[3] Williams was one of only four coaches kept on the coaching staff when Ray Rhodes was fired and replaced with Andy Reid. Williams coached Eagles starting running backs Staley, Correll Buckhalter, Brian Westbrook and LeSean McCoy. Under Williams, the Eagles had seven 1,000-yard rushers, including Staley with three, Westbrook with two, and McCoy with two.[2] Williams moved to tight ends coach after Chip Kelly was hired following the dismissal of Andy Reid. He coached there for two seasons before taking a job within the Eagles pro personnel department in January 2014.
Personal life
Williams is married to his wife, Theresa, and has four children: Darryl, Donald, Daniel and Terri.[2]
