With six NCEA overall national championships at Auburn, Greg Williams became one of the most respected coaches in the sport. He put the program on the map with its first title in 2006 and followed with five championships in 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019.

After a successful 28 seasons at the helm, and 22 as a varsity sport, Williams stepped down as head coach and moved into his new role as head coach emeritus in May of 2023.

The Paragould, Ark., native orchestrated the building of the Auburn University Equestrian Center since the university's club program debuted in 1996 and helped to change the club program to Auburn's 21st varsity sport.
 
Williams has worked tirelessly to push the growth of the sport throughout his time on the Plains. Not only has he produced one of the most successful programs in the country, Williams has also been instrumental in the addition of more varsity programs to the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) as well as creating a competitive format that maximizes opportunities for all student-athletes, which is used to this day in competition. For his efforts, he was a part of the inaugural NCEA Hall of Fame class that was inducted in April 2024.
 
As the head of the program, Williams finished with a 203-65 overall record in varsity competition. He was named the SEC Coach of the Year five times (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) and NCEA Coach of the Year twice (2019, 2020).
 
In over two decades as head coach, the Tigers and Williams totaled six national championships (2006, 2011, 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019), five Jumping Seat national titles (2008, 2011, 2013, 2018, 2019), one Western title (2018), six Southeastern Conference championships (2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023) and three Southern Equestrian crowns (2004, 2011, 2011).
 
Williams' student-athletes combined for 122 All-America accolades since the 2010-11 season and have totaled 146 All-SEC and Freshman All-SEC selections.
 
Williams and his staff guided their student-athletes to nine NCEA Rider of the Year honors as well as 43 SEC Rider of the Year accolades.
 
In addition to excelling in competition, Williams' teams also produced in the classroom with 106 NCEA All-Academic honorees since the organization began recognizing the honor in the spring of 2013.
 
Williams graduated from Auburn University with a bachelor's degree in animal sciences in 1986. His career in the horse industry began at a young age as he showed horses and competed in rodeos. His mother also competed, passing on her passion for horses to Williams.
 
Williams and his wife, Sandi, have two daughters, Toni and Erica. Both daughters are married to Auburn graduates. Williams is a proud grandfather of Graeme Odin Farrell (2017), Cassidy June Patrick (2020) and Conor Orion Farrell (2021).
