Carnell 'Cadillac' Williams is one of the few all-time great college football players who have gone on to become head coach at their alma mater. Can you name some others?
The ascension of Carnell “Cadillac” Williams to the role of interim head coach at Auburn automatically puts him near the top of one short but enviable list.
A two-time All-America lineman at Appalachian State, Shawn Clark was hired as head coach of the Mountaineers in 2020. Clark was a four-year starter on the offensive line for the Mountaineers from 1995-98, twice earning FCS All-America honors and three times earning first-team All-Southern Conference. During his five-year career , Appalachian State went 45-16 and reached the NCAA FCS playoffs three times. After four years as offensive line coach, he took over as Mountaineers head coach in 2020.
Tim Lester was a star quarterback at Western Michigan in the late-1990s, and was hired as the Broncos' head coach in 2017. Lester was a four-year starter at quarterback for the Broncos from 1996-99, finishing his career with 11,299 yards and 87 touchdowns. His yardage total was in the Top 5 in NCAA FBS history at that point, and remains in the Top 70 all-time.
Carnell Williams was an All-America running back at Auburn in 2004, and was hired as the Tigers' interim head coach earlier this week. One of the most highly-recruited players in the history of the state of Alabama, “Cadillac” signed with Auburn in 2001 and was an impact player for the Tigers the next four seasons despite battling various injuries. Williams rushed for 3,831 yards and set school records for carries and touchdowns , as Auburn went 3-1 in the Iron Bowl during his career.
