“They done changed my life for the good,” Cadillac Williams said. “They have — wow — made me come out of my comfort zone. I have showed some things that have revealed some things about myself that I ain’t know was there.'
“I’m so humbled and honored for the way they responded through all of this,” Williams said. “I mean, through this process, they’ve made me a better person, better husband, father, friend — it’s just powerful what you can do whenever you get people believing, serving, not making it about each other. It’s powerful.”
It was a remarkable turnaround, all things considered, and a sentimental month around the program as Williams’ earnest approach resonated both within the locker room and the Auburn fan base. One Auburn’s favorite sons and all-time greats restored pride in a program down on its luck after Harsin’s disastrous tenure, and he did it with a down-to-earth mentality off the field and hardnosed philosophy on it.
Yet he managed to get buy-in from a team that was lost in a downward spiral under Harsin, a coaching staff that scrambled to keep the program afloat and a fanbase that was disenchanted by the prior coach’s lack of results. “Honestly, quite frankly, it was harsh to say it didn’t really matter, but it didn’t,” Williams said. “I seen kids that was broken. I seen kids that needed help. An opportunity to get to serve them and see how, wow, they have opened their hearts, how they done did a , how they’re back believing.”
