In a late Thursday night statement, Auburn announced Williams will resign from his position as the associate head coach and running backs coach. He parts ways with his alma mater. It comes shrouded in rumor and uncertainty.

Time will tell what, if any, smoke becomes fire.

Auburn now has vacancies at its offensive coordinator, quarterbacks and running back position coaches. It has been rumored current Ole Miss wide receivers coach Derrick Nix, who previously coached the running backs in Oxford under Hugh Freeze, is a leading candidate for the coordinator job. Freeze reportedly plans to take over play-calling duties going into next season and analyst Kent Austin is expected to be promoted to the quarterbacks coach, according to a previous 247Sports report.
