‘”When I first went there, ” Williams said, “they wanted the exact polar opposite of a great friend of mine, Wade Phillips, who was real laid back. They were looking for someone to come in and be really hard-nosed. That first year I had to flip the culture. I had to change the attitude. It was a very old team, some $56 million over the cap in my three years that I was there. When I left three years later, there were only five original players from that first team. We had to strip it. I look back on those days, and each year that I was there was a great growing experience for me. It was a great chance to grow with the young team. We just didn’t get it done fast enough. But we brought them through the salary cap era.”‘
