Former Texas Longhorns star Ricky Williams was introduced as the running backs coach at the University of the Incarnate Word yesterday, step one in the process of one day becoming a head coach, right? 

"This my first experience coaching, but of course," he told the AP. "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."

Williams on-field resume is impressive: he broke the NCAA career rushing record, was drafted fifth overall by New Orleans in 1999, and gained more than 10,000 yards his NFL career.

His off-the-field issues are well documented, so we wish #34 and the IW Cardinals well.
