Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has kept a low profile since he was suspended indefinitely by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Williams offered very little Friday at his charity golf tournament in his hometown of Excelsior Springs, Mo., other than to vow, "I will coach again."
In two brief conversations with ESPN.com at the annual Gregg Williams Foundation Tiger Classic, the suspended coach declined to answer most questions, instead offering a lot of "no comments" before saying the day was "all about the kids" who would benefit from the charity tournament.
Williams left the Saints after the 2011-12 season to fill the defensive coordinator position with the St. Louis Rams.
However, Goodell suspended Williams indefinitely on March 21 for his role in running the Saints' bounty program, in which players were paid for hard hits and injuring opposing players from 2009 to 2011.
Williams' status will be reevaluated by the commissioner after the upcoming season.
According to the ESPN story, an unnamed friend said Williams is "just not seeking attention. He does not feel sorry for himself. He feels bad that everybody has had to suffer through this thing."
Rams assistant defensive line coach Clyde Simmons was in Excelsior Springs for the golf event and said he is certain that Williams will coach in the NFL again.
"Absolutely," Simmons said. "He's too good of a coach and a person."
