FILE - Detroit Lions quarterback Drew Stanton, left, and tight end John Owens react near the end of the team's NFL football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Detroit on Nov. 9, 2008. Stanton said then-offensive coordinator Jim Colletto was simply over his head and that played a part in dooming any chance Rod Marinelli had of having success as a head coach for the first and only time of his career.

Williams was traded by the Lions five losses into the 2008 season and the former receiver was not surprised they ended up becoming the NFL's first 0-16 team. Williams says the writing was on the wall.
