    Former Washington Redskins star quarterback Doug Williams is returning to Grambling State as coach of the Tigers football team, the university confirmed late Monday.

    Grambling State Athletic Director J. Lin Dawson announced the return of the College Hall of Famer in a statement, saying Williams has signed a four-year contract that begins March 1. Financial details were not disclosed in the statement.

    Williams was the general manager of UFL's Virginia franchise in 2010. The former Grambling State quarterback was the MVP of Super Bowl XXII with the Washington Redskins.

    He later succeeded Eddie Robinson as coach at his alma mater, winning three straight Southwestern Athletic Conference titles from 1998-2003.

    The 55-year-old Williams, a native of Zachary, La., replaces Rod Broadway, who resigned earlier this month to become head coach at North Carolina A&T.

    Williams will coach his son D.J., who signed with Grambling this year.
