39-Year Old Donte Williams Becomes First Black Head Football Coach at Univ. of Southern California
39-year-old Donte Williams has made history as the first Black head football coach at the University of Southern California.
“I feel like this is the opportunity I was born for,” Williams said in a video posted on USC football’s Instagram page. “To be the first African American head coach at USC means a lot to me. I mean it’s a lot of people that came before me that have paved the way for me to have this opportunity.” For over 12 years, Williams has been working as a coach for several college football programs including Oregon, Arizona, San Jose State, and Nebraska.
Williams now serves as the interim head football coach at the school since now fired head coach Clay Helton was fired. Williams won his first game 45-15 win against Washington State University at their first away game. Williams is only the 5th head football coach who is Black in the Pac-12 conference this year alongside Stanford, Arizona State, Washington, and Colorado.
