Williams to be first black coach for Yale
- Share via
Jacksonville Jaguars assistant Tom Williams has been hired at Yale, becoming the first black head football coach at the Ivy League school.
A person familiar with the decision confirmed the choice Monday on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made. The school called a news conference for 2 p.m. Wednesday to introduce the new coach.
Williams, 38, has spent the last two seasons working with the Jaguars’ defense and has been an assistant coach at Hawaii, Washington, Stanford and San Jose State.
