Former Dallas Cowboys, who ran back Sherman Williams, was at the helm of an Alabama High School football team that lost 100-0 last week.
Williams is the main coach of Murphy High School.
The team suffered the crooked loss to Williamson High School, which was the No. 2-ranked school in class 5A in the state.

The former NFL player received backlash on social media for the defeat. He allegedly decided not to get the judges to keep the clock to end the game faster. On Wednesday, he responded to Fury in a post on Facebook.
“Down 73-0 By half I looked each of my 39 boys in the eyes and asked if they would continue. 100% said yes! So that was what we did. I love my boys,” he wrote in a post. “Gave it all.”
Williamson principal coach Antonio Coleman told Al.com that he asked the judges to continue to run the clock with his team up 73-0 at the break.

“I asked the judge,” Coleman told the business. “He said OK. He asked me if I had a problem going to eight minutes of quarters. I said no. He went to ask Sherman and he said he would not run the clock.”
Williams said last week that an ongoing clock was proposed, but did not say if he chose to agree to implement it.
“A running watch was suggested, but they did not give us a running clock,” he said via al.com. “They continued to want to stop the clock and it’s ok. It’s football. It’s a 48-minute game. I didn’t ask for anyone favors. We have to get out there and keep coaching and play until there are zeros on the clock.”
Williams is in his first year as head coach at Murphy High School.

He played with cowboys from 1995 to 1999. He was on the Cowboys’ Super Bowl-winning team in the 1995 season. The former Alabama stand out played in 60 games and rushed in 1,162 yards and four touchdowns.
