Coach Joe Williams Bio

Coach Joe Williams was a standout defensive back for the University of Virginia from 1994-1997. His wife, Rhonda Williams, played three seasons for the Baltimore Burn from 2002-2004, and Joe Williams became involved in women’s football as well as a member of the Burn coaching staff. When Rhonda Williams left the Burn and joined the Divas for the 2005 season, Coach Joe Williams came to the D.C. Divas with her.

Coach Williams first served as the Divas’ assistant defensive backs coach in 2005, and he became the Divas’ special teams coach in 2006 when the Divas won the NWFA national championship. The following year, Coach Williams became the first coach to earn the position of offensive coordinator with the Divas, a title he held for the next two seasons.
