A retired NFL player tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the public perception of Gregg Williams is far from the man he once knew. "He was the softest coach I've been around," said Chidi Ahanotu, a 12-year NFL veteran who played under Williams with the Bills in 2002. "It was to the point, really, where I said, 'Man, this guy's really not made out to be a coach.' Honestly, that's what I always felt in Buffalo -- this is not football. His approach was very cerebral."
