Gregg Williams makes bizarre claim at first Browns press conference
Cleveland Browns interim head coach Gregg Williams offered up some pretty wild claims during his first press conference in his new role.
Williams last served as a head coach with the Buffalo Bills in 2003, having worked for various teams as a defensive coordinator since. Apparently, that’s just because Williams wanted to, since he claims he turned down four head coaching jobs that he wouldn’t even have had to interview for.

A likely story. There’s probably a reason Williams hasn’t been allowed to coach another team up until now, and he didn’t really want to talk about that on Wednesday.
#Browns Williams on if he ever thought he'd be a HC coach again after his BountyGate suspension: "That thing was a long time ago. That's nothing we're talking about now."

The Browns have said Williams will be a candidate for the job when the time comes. It still seems unlikely he’ll be able to land it unless the Browns perform way above expectations the rest of the way.
