Bucs icon and personnel executive Doug Williams might keep his job

One reason Joe became a Bucs fan years ago was Doug Williams at quarterback wearing the old orange jerseys, flipping the ball to Jimmie Giles and Kevin House. Joe, along with many other Bucs fans, have had a special spot in their heart for the old QB.

Joe was happy to see Chucky hire Williams to work in the Bucs’ front office some years ago. And despite the recent purge of Chucky followers, it appears Williams, whose contract runs out this winter, will remain a fixture with the Bucs if Rick Stroud of the St. Petersburg Times is to be believed.

Doug Williams, whose contract expires next month, is expected to return to the Bucs in the pro personnel department. He has met with new GM Mark Dominik and accompanied coaches and team officials to the Senior Bowl.

Since the Bucs’ drafts in recent years haven’t exactly been stellar, Joe isn’t quite sure what to make of Williams as a personnel guy. But Joe is more than willing to give Williams a shot under the new regime.
