Auburn running backs coach Carnell "Cadillac" Williams, who starred for the Tigers and became an NFL first-round draft pick, is resigning to pursue other opportunities.
Williams, 41, had coached Auburn's running backs for the past five seasons under three different coaches (Gus Malzahn, Bryan Harsin and Hugh Freeze). He served as Auburn's interim coach for the final four games in 2022 following Harsin's firing, and went 2-2 with a win over Texas A&M.
Williams remained on Auburn's staff under Freeze, who just completed his first season.
"I love Auburn, the players and AU family with all my heart, but this decision is what is best for me, my wife and sons," Williams said in a statement.
