Former Grambling State player and legendary football coach Doug Williams was not thrilled about the program's decision to hire former Baylor coach Art Briles as the Tigers' offensive coordinator on Thursday.

Briles was fired from Baylor in 2016 after an extensive scandal that revealed Briles and administrators at the university had ignored dozens of sexual assault allegations.
