Willie A. Williamson Jr. (November 23, 1944 – August 7, 2021) was an American football coach. He served as head football coach at Albany State University from 1980 to 1981 and at Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky, compiling a career college football coaching record of 6–16.[1]
Williamson attended high school in Detroit, Michigan and played college football as a running back and defensive back at Anderson College—now known as Anderson University—in Anderson, Indiana. He played semi-pro football for three seasons with the Los Angeles Mustangs of the Western Professional League.[2] Williamson was suspended indefinitely from his post at Kentucky State in late October 1984 after criticizing the team's schedule. He was replaced by Theo Lemon as interim head coach.[3]
Williamson died on August 7, 2021.[4]
