I just saw a segment on ESPN about what Ricky Williams is doing now and was pleasantly surprised. (first and foremost by what Nick Saban did for him.)
But in a "weird" way it helps me understand Ricky, the player, the guy.
I always felt, Ricky Williams could have been a HOF player, but I always felt he thought his talent was way beyond everything else and he could have been the best ever, not casting judgement on him at all, for his decisions.
It's great to learn and hear that he's a running backs coach at the University of the Incarnate Word, which is a small Catholic school, looking to build its football program.
I fell that is great.
If you watched the segment, you may understand, that he was never driven by money or fame, which, was a beautiful thing.
He hopes at sometime to be head coach somewhere, eventually ,and it was great to hear that Mack Brown and Nick Saban both wrote letters of recommendation for Williams when he was looking to land this current job he eventually got, and that Saban offered to hire him.
This is a great story...
