“We want to welcome Don to the Simpson University athletic team,” said Griffin. “We feel that his character and level of experience will be a big asset to the university in and outside of athletics. I feel he has a great chance of success with his experience and his contacts that he has built up over the years.”

Williams said he’s excited to coach at Simpson and be a part of the new program.

“I’ve been looking forward to being able to coach at this level for some time,” Williams said. “I think we’re going to make Northern California very proud in a short amount of time.”

As a student at California State University Chico (1978-82), Williams was a four-year starter, a 1981 Conference Champion, a 1981 NCAA Division II All-American, a 1982 Conference Champion and a 1982 NCAA Division II All-American.
