Kevin Faulk was a pretty good nfl player as well and we saw how that went. Hopefully it works out this time



Kevin was a great NFL player because he had abilities that you couldn’t teach.

Kyle was a great NFL player because he had skills that you could only learn.

Great athletes rarely make great players because they don’t know how to teach what they can do. Mainly because it can’t be taught.

Kyle Williams was a great technician. He turned average NFL talent into a fantastic 13 year career.

You can’t compare their skill sets.

You’re right, most don’t but a lot of them do. Kevin Faulk did it here not long ago.

We don't know. Everyone is hopeful because he was a fantastic pro and has had success in his limited time as a high school DC, but in reality no one has a clue.

Who recruited him? Who coached him at LSU? Do you think he didn’t learn anything while in college? What about the NFL? Who were his coaches? Who were the people he learned under on his position? What motivated him to coaching?

Fun fact. While at LSU Kyle Williams was coached by both Pete Jenkins and Bo Davis.

In reality this is a very risky hire. Top college programs usually do not hire DL coaches if they have not coached at least as an assistant on the college level. The only thing that makes this possible is having People’s working hand and hand with him. This is a risky hire no matter how you slice it but having People’s there to mentor him makes me feel better.

Dumbasses are saying Williams isn’t going to be a good coach because “he doesn’t have experience”.
It is the most overrated thing there is when it comes to experience in this area. His coaches have shaped him to being a coach since he was in peewee football. He has had the best coaching, including Pete Jenkins, teaching him. So people say he doesn’t know anything about coaching.

No, that isn’t what I said but your statement is incorrect and multiple people have given the example which proves it.

A lot of people have had great coaches. That doesn't automatically make them a great coach as well.

He is not just a high school coach. He played 13 years in the NFL.

A lot of people have never played and became coaches see Will Wade. It is a lot harder for the second than the first.

What skill set is he lacking to be a DL coach? His job is to teach the position no different than fat arse O did.

You keep altering your statements as they’re shown to be incorrect. First you said a top 10 school which we are not and haven’t been for the better part of a decade. Then you said a position coach at LSU not a top 10 program and now you’re saying “the line” at LSU instead of any position coach like you said previously. Next you’ll be asking to name another white Dlineman with the name Williams at LSU last season.

You are a complete moron so it makes sense why you would think that.

So I equated it to the exact position he’s taking which is my point you clown

Well I don’t think that, it’s a fact. And you didn’t equate anything, you kept altering the question as your previous statements continued to be proven false.

I think you are confused. I never said he’ll be a bad coach. I have no ideal how good of a coach he will be. Neither do you. I hope he’s awesome
