Ricky Williams begins life as college coach

SAN ANTONIO — On his first day as a college assistant coach, Ricky Williams already was thinking bigger.

Williams was introduced as the running backs coach at University of the Incarnate Word on Thursday, bringing years of knowledge of the game to the small Catholic school looking to build its program.

Before taking the field for his first practice with the team, Williams was asked whether he could see himself eventually becoming a head coach.

“This my first experience coaching, but of course,” he said before flashing a huge grin and laughing. “Even when I was a kid growing up, I liked football players, but the people on the field that I idolized were actually the coaches.”
