Doug Williams Heading Back To Grambling

To coach again... not a misprint...

Williams who was GM of the UFL's newest franchise, the Virginia Destroyers, will be introduced tomorrow. He succeeds Ron Broadway who went to North Carolina A&T after this season.

Williams played for the late Eddie Robinson at Grambling and succeeded him as coach following Robinson's retirement from 1998-2003.

Williams will have the chance to coach his son, D.J., who committed to play next season at the school.

"It is very rare that a father gets to coach his son at the college football level," Williams said in a statement released by the UFL. "I went to school there, I coached there, and now I have a great opportunity to coach there again."

UFL Heading To Norfolk...???

The United Football League says it is adding a team in Norfolk, Virginia.

The team will be the UFL's sixth team and second expansion franchise for the 2011 season, joining one in Omaha. The league says it hopes to eventually expand to up to 14 teams.

The UFL approved Virginia businessman Jim Speros as the provisional owner of the team, and former Washington Redskins quarterback Doug Williams as the general manager.

Speros was the founding owner of the Baltimore Colts/Baltimore CFL team that played in the Canadian Football League in the mid-1990's.

The league's charter teams are located in Orlando, Hartford, Connecticut, Las Vegas, and Sacramento, California.
