Former Dallas Cowboys running back Sherman Williams was at the helm of an Alabama high school football team that lost 100-0 last week.

Williams is the head coach of Murphy High School. The team suffered the lopsided 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 to not have the referees in the game keep the clock running to end the game quicker. On Wednesday, he responded to the fury in a post on Facebook.

“Down 73-0 at half I looked each one of my 39 boys in the eyes and ask if they wanted to continue. 100% said YES! So that’s what we did. I LOVE MY BOYS,” he wrote in a post. “Gave it their all.”
